Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Baiocchi - Gregorio XVI 1835-1846 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious change. Pope Gregory XVI, who ruled from 1831 to 1846, was known for his conservative views and his efforts to maintain the power of the Catholic Church. The coin's design, which features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, reflects the religious and political influence of the Church during this time period.
