Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Baiocchi - Pius VI (Cartouche) 1795 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval. The Papal States were facing pressure from neighboring countries and the French Revolution, which led to the eventual capture of Rome and the establishment of the Roman Republic in 1798. Despite this turmoil, the Papal States continued to mint coins, including this particular issue, which features an image of Pope Pius VI on one side and a crowned shield with the Papal keys on the other. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of the Papal States during this time period.
