Interesting fact
The 1 Baiocco coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 10.8 g, issued during the reign of Pope Pius VI (1789-1794), features an interesting fact. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has a unique feature - the coat of arms on the reverse side is not the usual Papal States coat of arms, but rather the coat of arms of the city of Gubbio. This indicates that the coin was specifically minted for use in Gubbio and its surrounding areas, making it a rare and unique piece for collectors.
