Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Annibale Albani (Sede Vacante) 1721 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change within the Catholic Church. The coin was issued during the Sede Vacante, or "empty seat," period, which occurred between the death of Pope Innocent XIII in 1721 and the election of Pope Benedict XIII in 1724. During this time, the Papal States were governed by a regency, and the coinage issued during this period reflects the political and religious upheaval of the time.
