Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, referring to the period of time between the death of a Pope and the election of a new one. This coin was minted in 1378, during the Sede Vacante period following the death of Pope Gregory XI, and it features the coat of arms of the Papal States.
