This coin was restruck in 1799 during the siege of Ancona.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Scudo coin from the Roman Sister Republic (Italian States) is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Pius VI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts and sciences.
