Interesting fact

The 2 Soldi coin from the Subalpine Republic (1800-1801) was designed by Italian engraver and artist, Giovanni Antonio Baccini. Baccini was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Napoleonic era, and his designs often featured classical themes and motifs. In this particular coin, Baccini depicted the profile of a young woman wearing a wreath, symbolizing the Republic, on the obverse side. The reverse side features the denomination and the coat of arms of the Subalpine Republic. This coin is a rare and valuable piece for collectors, with only a limited number minted during its production run.
