| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination is expressed entirely in large, bold Latin text arranged in four lines across the plain field, reading QUATTRO BAIOCCHI, the Italian equivalent of four baiocchi. The lettering fills the coin's surface in a straightforward typographic style with no additional ornamental devices. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned, the design relying solely on the inscription for its visual impact. A reeded border frames the reverse. |

Benedict XIV authorized this billon issue during a period of active monetary reform across the Papal States, part of his broader effort to rationalize a coinage system that had accumulated decades of inconsistent local issues. The muraiola denomination itself was a legacy of the smaller fractional coinage tradition in central Italy, kept alive largely because petty commerce in Rome and the Legations demanded low-value specie that silver alone was too expensive to supply.
The two-year window of production, 1747–1748, likely reflects a targeted emission rather than continuous striking — a one-time injection to address circulation shortfalls rather than a standing mint order.
