Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Annibale Albani (Sede Vacante) 1724 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Catholic Church. The coin was issued in 1724, which was during the Sede Vacante, or "empty seat," period between the death of Pope Innocent XIII and the election of Pope Benedict XIII. This was a time of great political and religious upheaval, and the coin's issuance may have been a way for the Papal States to assert their authority and legitimacy during this period of uncertainty.
