Here's a coin I picked up from a money changer near Termini station in Rome. I haven't tried to identify it, but what I can read: APOSTOLO on one side, BAIOCC... and 1797 on the other side, this must be a Vatican coin. It came with three friends I will also post.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Seems to be DVE E MEZZO BAIOCCHI from Pergola.

It would be easier, if you give weight and diameter.
