Interesting fact
The 1 Baiocco Romano - Annibale Albani (Sede Vacante) 1740 coin from the Papal States is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features an image of the Papal tiara and keys, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of the Albani family, who were a prominent family in the Papal States at the time. This coin was minted during the Sede Vacante period, which means that it was produced between the death of one pope and the election of the next, when the Papal States were governed by a temporary administrator. This adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
