Interesting fact
The 1 Baiocco coin from the Papal States, issued during the reign of Benedict XIV in 1756, features a unique design element - a small clockwise wreath on the reverse side, surrounding the shield with the Papal keys and the tiara. This design was used for a short period and is considered less common compared to other designs used during Benedict XIV's reign.
