Interesting fact
The ½ Baiocco coin from the Roman Sister Republic (Italian States) was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Roman Republic, which was established in 1798, was a short-lived state that was formed after the French Revolutionary Wars and was part of the broader movement of Republicanism in Europe. The coinage of the Roman Republic, including the ½ Baiocco, was designed to promote the ideals of the Revolution and to establish a new, modern currency system for the fledgling state. Despite its short lifespan, the Roman Republic and its coinage played an important role in the history of Italy and the development of modern European politics.
