Fermo Anno I baiocco KM-10.1
This specimen was lot 39033 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2025), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "ITALY. Roman Republic. Fermo. Baiocco, AN I (1798). PCGS AU-58." 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. This is a slightly later issue from the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic was formed to welcome the advancing French armies in 1798 and the pope fled to Venice and Austrian protection. When Napoleon left Italy for Paris, the puppet republics all collapsed and the pope returned to Rome, to rule until 1808.
