I've had a look at the old baiocco varieties from the 18th century and I haven't been able to find this exact style of coin. Generally the obverse design of the 1/2 baiocco with the papal state of arms seems more curly with more swirls where the 1 baiocco obverse is almost always straight with almost no swirls Purely a hunch but I suspect that this may be a mule of a 1/2 rev & 1 obv but there seems to be so many varieties and this is an area with not much research so I really can't say for sure. The diameter of both the 1/2 and 1 baiocco is pretty similar so it's not impossible. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
