Comment
A variety with cap left existsInteresting fact
The 2 Baiocchi coin from the Roman Sister Republic (Italian States) was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Roman Sister Republic was established in 1798 as a short-lived republican government, and the coin was minted during this period. The coin's design features the symbol of the Roman Sister Republic, which includes a bundle of fasces (a bundle of rods bound together) and a liberty cap, which were common symbols of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment. The coin's design was meant to promote the ideals of unity, freedom, and equality, which were central to the Roman Sister Republic's values.
