bajocco
Where it comes from
From an archaic spelling of Italian baiocco, from baio (“brown”), after its color.
noun bajoccos · bajocchi · baioc · baiocco
- A coin, originally copper, later silver, issued by the Papal States from the 15th century to 1865. In the 19th century the value was five hundredths of a lira. I have heard a brother of the story-telling trade, at Naples, preaching to a pack of good-for-nothing honest lazy fellows by the sea-shore, work himself up into such a rage and passion with some of the villains whose wicked deeds he was describing and inventing, that the audience could not resist it
