Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Baiocco coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper is that 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 1796. This coin was minted in 1791, just a few years before the fall of the Papal States, making it a unique piece of history.
