Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Scudo - Francesco Galleffi (Sede Vacante) 1829 coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of the Sede Vacante (Vacant See) on one side, which is a symbol of the Papal States during the period of time when there was no pope, and on the other side, it features an image of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious change in the Papal States, and it serves as a unique historical artifact from that era.
