The French invasion of 1796 disrupted the delicate economic balance of the Papal States and destroyed the value of the paper currency which funded it. Hard money went into hiding and the pope was forced to issue a series of copper emergency money, including this type, which substituted for the silver ''grosso.'' Temporary branch mints were opened to produce more. 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. <br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' 40 g, copper. <br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM 1245, [[On the coinage of the Papal States|Ber-2987]].<br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Berman, Allen G., ''Papal Coins,'' South Salem, NY: Attic Books, 1991.<br /> * Michael, Thomas, ''Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1701-1800, 7th ed.,'' Iola, WI: Krause Publications, 2016. <br /> <br /> ''Link to:''<br /> * [[Papal States (1797) 1/2 baiocco|(1797) ''mezzo baiocco'']]<br /> * [[Papal States (1797) baiocco|(1797) ''baiocco'']]<br /> * [[Papal States (1797) 2 baiocchi|(1797) ''muraiola'']]<br /> * [[Ascoli 1797 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[Gubbio 1797 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[Matelica 1797 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[Montalto 1797 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[San Severino 1797 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[Spoleto 1797 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[Macerata 1798 5 baiocchi]]<br /> * [[Coins and currency dated 1797]]<br /> * return to coins of [[Vatican|the Papal States]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Selections from the Tom Fitzgerald Collection]]</div>
