Comment

Some authorities consider this a contemporary counterfeit.

Interesting fact

The 3 Baiocchi coin was minted in 1849, during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Roman Republic, which was established in 1849, was a short-lived state that lasted only until 1852, when it was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia. As a result, coins minted during this period, like the 3 Baiocchi, are considered rare and highly sought after by collectors.
