Le monete Pontificie anonime e di sede vacante nel secolo XIV

Description

Very fascinating: a short article by an Italian numismatologist on sede vacantepapal coins, which apparently existed in more than the 14th century's interregnums!

I've always been interested in the history of Italian numismatics, especially in light of what St. Thomas writes about private societies' right to assemble and trade (Contra Impugnantes cap. 2 co.: "Privata autem societas est quae ad aliquod negotium privatum exercendum coniungitur: sicut quod duo vel tres societatem ineunt ut simul negotientur." which Leo XII quoted in Rerum Novarum §51; cf. Integralism on private societies), which justifies the ability to use alternative currencies (e.g., cryptocurrencies) today.
