Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Baiocchi coin from Perugia (Papal States) is that it features an image of Pope Pius VI, who was the Pope during the time of the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. Despite the turmoil and changes in Europe during his papacy, Pius VI remained a strong advocate for the Catholic Church and its teachings. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a testament to his leadership and legacy.
