This type is listed for 1834 only and was struck in Rome. The early coinage of the Papal States used an antique monetary system. Five quattrini = one baiocco; 5 baiocchi = 1 grosso; 6 grossi = 4 carlini = 3 paoli = 1 testone; 10 testone = 1 doppia; 100 baiocchi = 1 scudo. After 1832, all the medieval coins were dropped except for the ''baiocco'' and the ''scudo.'' This twenty ''baiocchi'' was a fifth of a scudo and was equivalent to a franc. It replaced the ''doppio giulio'', last coined in 1823. In 1835, the alloy was lowered from .917 fine to .900 fine, with a slightly higher weight to compensate and the reverse redesigned. 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.
