Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone (Sede Vacante) ND (1691) coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of the Papal keys and the tiara on one side, and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This design was used during the Sede Vacante period, which occurs between the death of a pope and the election of a new one, when the Papal States are governed by a temporary administrator. The use of these symbols highlights the importance of the Catholic Church and the Papal States during this time.
