Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1963 Vatican City 500 Lire (Sede Vacante) coin is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin was minted during the Sede Vacante period, which occurs when a Pope dies and a new Pope has not yet been elected. This means that the coin was minted between the death of Pope John XXIII in 1963 and the election of Pope Paul VI in 1963, making it a rare and limited edition coin.
