Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quadrupla - Enrico Caetani (Sede Vacante) 1590 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Catholic Church. The coin was issued during the Sede Vacante, or "empty seat," period, which occurred between the death of Pope Sixtus V in 1590 and the election of Pope Urban VII in 1592. This was a time of great political and religious upheaval, and the coin's issuance may have been a way for the Papal States to maintain stability and continuity during this period of transition.
