Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Annibale Albani (Sede Vacante) 1721 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Papal States. The coin was issued in 1721, just a year after the death of Pope Clement XI, who had ruled the Papal States for over 20 years. The coin's mintage was likely a way for the Papal States to commemorate the life and legacy of the deceased pope, while also serving as a symbol of the state's continuity and stability during a time of transition.
