Interesting fact
The ½ Baiocco coin from Fermo (Papal States) made of Copper and weighing 4.5g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was the last Pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1798. This coin is a rare example of the coinage issued by the Papal States during this time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
