Interesting fact
The 2½ Baiocchi coin from San Severino (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 13.76 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was the last Pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1796. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the Papal States' rich cultural and economic heritage.
