Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Baiocco - Pius VI 1794-1795 coin from Foligno (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe. The Papal States, which were ruled by the Pope, were facing pressure from neighboring countries and were eventually annexed by France in 1798. This coin, minted just a few years before that event, is a tangible reminder of the tumultuous period in European history.
