Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Luigi Cornaro (Sede Vacante) ND (1572) coin from Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Catholic Church, known as the Sede Vacante (or "empty seat") period, which lasted from 1572 to 1573. During this time, the papacy was vacant due to the death of Pope Pius V, and the coin was minted as a way to maintain the authority and continuity of the Church during this interregnum. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
