Interesting fact
The 1 Quadrupla coin featuring Antonio Barberini has a unique feature - 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 adds historical significance to the coin, as it was issued during a time of transition in the Papal States.
