Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Baiocchi - Clement XIII ND (1758-1769) coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious upheaval. Pope Clement XIII, who ruled from 1758 to 1769, was known for his controversial policies, including his support for the Jesuits, who were a powerful religious order that had been suppressed by many European powers. The coin's minting may have been a way for the Pope to assert his authority and promote his agenda, despite the opposition he faced from other European powers.
