Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1823 Papal States 1 Scudo coin is that it features a unique design element - the coat of arms of the Papal States is depicted on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, and refers to the period of time between the death of a pope and the election of a new one. The use of the coat of arms and the wreath of laurel leaves symbolizes the continuity and authority of the Papal States during this transition period.
