Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Doppio Giulio (Sede Vacante) 1823 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 1823, when the Papal States were facing political instability and financial difficulties, which led to the introduction of a new currency system. Despite these challenges, the Doppio Giulio coin remained a popular and widely used denomination among the people of the Papal States.
