Interesting fact
The 1758 ½ Baiocco coin was minted during the papacy of Pope Clement XIII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its institutions. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of copper and weighs 5.1 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its size, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a collector's item for those interested in numismatics and the history of the Papal States.
