Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo D'Oro - Pietro Aldobrandini (Sede Vacante) 1605 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Papal States. The coin was issued in 1605, during the Sede Vacante (or "empty seat") period, which occurred between the death of Pope Clement VIII in 1605 and the election of Pope Leo XI in 1605. This period was marked by political instability and power struggles within the Church, and the coin may have been minted as a way to demonstrate the authority and legitimacy of the Papal States during this time.
