Similar to KM31 which is a small mintage but regular circulating coinage.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centesimi - Pivs XII 1942-1946 coin from Vatican City is that it features an image of Pope Pius XII on one side, while the reverse side features the Vatican coat of arms and the denomination. This coin was minted during a time of significant historical importance, as Pope Pius XII was the Pope during World War II, and the Vatican City was under occupation by Nazi Germany. Despite this, the Vatican City continued to mint its own coins, including this 10 Centesimi coin, which was used as a means of currency for the Vatican City's citizens.
