Interesting fact
The ½ Baiocco coin from the Roman Sister Republic (Italian States) was minted in 1798, during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe. The coin's design features the symbol of the Roman Republic, a she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome. This symbolism was meant to evoke a sense of unity and strength in the face of adversity, and it has become an enduring symbol of Italian national identity.
