Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Baiocchi - Pius VI 1797 coin from Montalto (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe. The Papal States, which were ruled by the Pope, were facing pressure from neighboring countries and were eventually annexed by France in 1798. This coin, minted in 1797, may have been one of the last coins minted before the Papal States were abolished.
