Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1823 Papal States Sede Vacante 1 Doppia coin is that it was minted during a time of political and religious turmoil. The Papal States were in the process of being annexed by the Kingdom of Italy, and the Catholic Church was experiencing a period of transition, known as the "Sede Vacante," or "empty seat," between the death of Pope Pius VII and the election of Pope Leo XII. Despite this upheaval, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a unique and fascinating piece for collectors.
