Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sede Vacante 5 Euro coin from Vatican City is that it features a unique design that changes with each issuance, as it is minted to commemorate the transition between papal reigns. The coin's design is meant to symbolize the sede vacante, or "empty seat," of the papacy during the period between the death of a pope and the election of a new one. This coin, in particular, was minted in 2013, during the sede vacante period following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and before the election of Pope Francis.
