Interesting 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 Republic, the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, who legendarily founded Rome. This symbolism represents the new government's desire to connect with the ancient Roman Republic and its values of liberty and democracy.
