Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Baiocchi - Pius VI 1796 coin from Ancona (Papal States) is that it features a unique design element - a small anchor symbol on the reverse side, which was added to signify the coin's issuance by the Papal States' naval authorities. This anchor symbol is not found on other coins issued by the Papal States during this time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
