<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1380806, member: 11521"]I was reading about the top coin just a day or two ago. Vatican City issues a coin (or coins) after a Pope dies but before the new Pope is elected. During this interim period, as the coin states, "SEDE VACANTE" or "THE SEAT IS VACANT". The date on your coin is MCMXXXIX (1939) which is when Pope Pius XI died. Pope Pius XI was succeeded by Pope Pius XII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
