Interesting fact
The 2½ Baiocchi coin from the Papal States, featuring Pope Pius VI, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in Europe. The French Revolution had just begun, and the Papal States were soon to be invaded and annexed by France. This coin, minted in 1796-1797, may have been one of the last coins minted by the Papal States before their annexation.
