Interesting fact
The coin , the Muraiola of 4 Baiocchi - Pius VI 1797 from Perugia (Papal States) made of Billon, is a rare and interesting coin for several reasons. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Italy. The Papal States, where the coin was minted, were facing challenges from the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon, which ultimately led to the coin's mintage being ceased in 1798. This coin is a tangible piece of history that serves as a reminder of the tumultuous period in which it was created.
