Interesting fact
The 5 Baiocchi coin from San Severino (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 14.2g was minted during the papacy of Pope Pius VI, who was the last pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1798. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his papacy to address the financial needs of the Papal States. Despite the coin's relatively low denomination, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted.
