Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Baiocchi - Pius VI (Wreath) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the Papal States. The coin was issued during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was forced to flee Rome in 1798 due to the French Revolutionary Wars. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained in circulation and was used as a means of exchange among the people of the Papal States.
