Interesting fact
The 2 Baiocchi coin from the Roman Sister Republic (Italian States) was designed by Italian engraver and artist, Giovanni Battista Gioja. He was known for his work on various coins and medals during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and his designs often featured classical themes and motifs. The 2 Baiocchi coin is one of his most notable works, and it features a depiction of the Roman goddess Libertas on the obverse side, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The reverse side of the coin bears the coat of arms of the Roman Sister Republic, which consists of a shield with three vertical bands (red, white, and red) and a crown of laurel leaves. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the ideals of liberty and unity that were central to the Roman Sister Republic's values.
