Second Republic and the second break from Papal States' rule in Ancona. The first Republic of 1798 - 1799, inspired and aided by the French Revolution, saw re-strikes of Papal coinage during the siege and issues similar to the Roman Republic issues except with an "A" or Ancona included in the legend.
This is an extremely nice specimen (better than KM) of this cast emergency coinage. OB: "REPUBBLICA ROMANA" with fasces topped with liberty cap. The 2nd Roman Republic was proclaimed on 9 Feb. 1849.
1849-A Baiocco, Ancona mint, of the Second Roman Republic which lasted from late 1848 when Pius IX fled (Dec 9) to Gaeta until July 1849 when French (and/or Austrian) troops restored the pope.
These have crude diagonal reeding on the edges.
