Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Baiocchi - Pio IX (800 Silver) coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious change. Pope Pius IX, who ruled from 1846 to 1878, was the longest-reigning pope in history and oversaw a period of great turmoil, including the Revolutions of 1848 and the subsequent establishment of the Papal States as a sovereign state. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
