This type is listed for 1835-46 and was struck in Rome (shown here) and Bologna. 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 fifty baiocchi was half a scudo and was equivalent to a half dollar. It replaced the mezzo scudo, last coined in 1829. 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. This specimen was lot 74 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €75 (about US$101 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
