Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, referring to the period between the death of a Pope and the election of a new one. This coin was minted in 1724, during the Sede Vacante that lasted from 1721 to 1724, and it features the image of Annibale Albani, who was the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church at the time.
