Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Annibale Albani (Sede Vacante) 1730 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil 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 1724 and the election of Pope Clement XII in 1730. During this time, the Papal States were governed by a regency, and the coinage issued during this period bears the name of the regent, Annibale Albani. This coin is a rare and interesting piece of history that highlights the political and religious upheaval of the time.
