Interesting fact

One 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 1700, during the Sede Vacante that lasted from 1700 to 1701, and it features the image of Giovanni Battista Spinola, who was the Cardinal Camerlengo during that time.
