Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Sede Vacante (Vacant See) period of the Papal States, which was a time of political and religious turmoil in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Albani family, who were a prominent noble family in the Papal States at the time. Despite its age, the coin is still in circulation and is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists.
