Interesting fact
The ½ Baiocco coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Roman Republic, which was established in 1849, was a short-lived state that lasted only a few years before being annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia. Despite its brief existence, the Roman Republic left a lasting legacy, including the issuance of this coin, which was used as a symbol of the new republic's independence and sovereignty.
