Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Doppia coin is that it was minted 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 coin was minted in 1830, during the Sede Vacante that lasted from 1829 to 1831, and bears the image of Pier Francesco Galleffi, the Cardinal Camerlengo who was responsible for managing the Papal States during this time.
