Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 40 Baiocchi coin from the Roman Republic (Italian States) is that it was designed by the Italian engraver and sculptor, Luigi Crivelli. Crivelli was known for his work on various coins and medals during the 19th century, and his design for the 40 Baiocchi coin features a portrait of the Roman goddess Libertas on the obverse side, and a depiction of the Roman she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the ideals of freedom and unity that were central to the Roman Republic.
