Comment
KM#3.2 has "L CHOTOTM" below bust.Interesting fact
The 5 Baiocchi coin from Fermo (Papal States) minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI (1797-1799) features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This coin was made of copper and weighs 21.34 grams. It's interesting to note that the Papal States, which was a sovereign state ruled by the Pope, was annexed by France in 1798, which makes coins like this one a unique piece of history.
