Gubbio 1739 baiocco

from the Tom Fitzgerald Collection

This type was minted in Gubbio 1730-38 along with KM 118 with a cartouche reverse. The obverse shows regnal year VIIII. This specimen seems to be an unlisted date in the SCWC as no mention is made of any baiocchi for 1739. Berman mentions this type (2694) for 1730-39 as well as a variety with a wreath of roses on the reverse (2695). One hundred baiocchi made a scudo.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 10.6 g, copper.

Catalog reference: KM 115, Ber-2694.
