Interesting fact
The ½ Baiocco - Benedict XIV (Jubilee) 1750 coin from the Papal States is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Pope Benedict XIV, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and promote religious tolerance. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and an image of the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the Pope's authority and influence. Additionally, the coin's copper material and relatively low weight make it a unique and collectible item among numismatists.
