Interesting fact

The ½ Baiocco coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 6g has a unique feature. It has a distinctive "Gubbio Cross" design on the reverse side, which is a cross with four pelicans on the ends, symbolizing the four evangelists. This design was specifically used for coins minted in Gubbio during the reign of Pope Innocent XII (1691-1700).
