Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Scudi (Sede Vacante) 1846 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil. The coin was issued during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, referring to the period between the death of a pope and the election of a new one. This particular coin was minted in 1846, when the Papal States were facing political instability and financial difficulties, which led to the coin's low mintage and rarity.
