Interesting fact
The Bagarone was a coin introduced by Pope Leo X in 1513, during his papacy, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. The coin was made of copper and had a distinctive design, featuring the papal tiara and keys on one side, and the coat of arms of the Farnese family on the other. The Bagarone was an important coin during its time, as it was used for everyday transactions and was also used to pay taxes and debts. It's an interesting piece of history that gives us a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the Papal States during the early 16th century.
