Papal City States "Quattrino" Bologna, 1706-1756

I had the opportunity to do some detecting while on vacation in Italy, and found these two Copper coins about four feet from each other in a vineyard. The first is somewhat recognizable, and I can see what looks like a lion? and on the reverse several letters. The second is completely caked with dirt, and rinsing it off with water didnt help. Any help would be great!

WTH

I wish I could help, but I am no coin guy. Cool finds though. Must have been exciting. What year is the wheatie?

Wow, thanks so much. That really means a lot to know about these coins! I knew someone would know! What book did you find that in by the way?
