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 Sister Republic was established in 1798 as a short-lived republican government, and the coin was minted during this period. The coin's design features the symbol of the Roman Republic, the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, who legendarily founded the city of Rome. This symbolism highlights the connection between the Roman Sister Republic and the ancient Roman Empire.
