Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1700 Papal States 1 Piastra coin is that it features an image of Giovanni Battista Spinola, who was a prominent Catholic cardinal and politician during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The coin was minted during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, and refers to the time between the death of a pope and the election of a new one. This coin is a rare and valuable example of papal numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
