Comment
KM#5 also exists with FOLIGNO" instead of "FULIGNO"."Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Baiocchi coin from Foligno (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 20g is that it was issued during the papacy of Pope Pius VI, who was known for his strong opposition to the French Revolution and the spread of liberal ideas. Despite this, the coin still features the image of a crowned shield with the Papal keys and the coat of arms of the Papal States, indicating the influence of the Catholic Church on the coin's design.
