Interesting fact
The 2½ Baiocchi coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper and weighing 25.2g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI in 1796, a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin's design features the Papal coat of arms on one side and the value on the other, and its copper composition was a common material used for coins during that era. Despite its age, this coin remains a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Papal States and the Catholic Church.
