spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 9:42 pm It looks similar to a 1774 Vatican States Half Scudo but not exactly (no denomination), especially the reverse. I'm guessing it's a token of some kind based on that In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 9:58 pm Well, whatever it is, it can be found at the bottom of this page. I think the denomination is a giulio. EDIT: Sede Vacante seems to be something that happens when a pope dies. In 1774, Pope Clement XIV died, so the coin was probably made because of that.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9872 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 12:15 am Sede Vacante means approximately "the seat is empty" it is as Joseph7420 said, a term used after the pope has died and has not yet been replaced, sort of an interregnal period for the Vatican. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
