This type is listed for 1797-98 and was struck in Fermo. Fermo was one of the temporary mints opened to cope with the collapse of the papal coinage system attendant upon French invasion. It issued half, 2½, five and sixty baiocchi. The early coinage of the Papal States used an antique monetary system. After 1830, five quattrini = one baiocco; 100 baiocchi = one scudo. In 1866, the currency was reformed to use centesimi and lire in order to match that of the surrounding kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the Papal States were occupied and annexed by the kingdom of Italy and coinage ceased until 1929.
