Comment
Variety with key:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1795 Papal States 2½ Baiocchi coin featuring Pius VI (St. Peter facing) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the Papal States. The coin was issued just a few years before the French Revolution, which would ultimately lead to the overthrow of the Papal States and the establishment of a new government. Despite this upheaval, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Papal States.
