Interesting fact
The ½ Baiocco coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 7.55g was minted during the papacy of Innocent X (1648-1653) and features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of Gubbio on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, with the Papal States facing challenges from neighboring powers and the Protestant Reformation. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring influence of the Catholic Church and the Papal States during this period.
