Two heraldic shields are positioned in the lower field to either side of the saint, with the mint initials G P appearing in the exergue. The date 1786 is incorporated into the surrounding legend, which identifies the saint and his role as protector of Bologna. |

Pius VI authorized Bologna's continued half-zecchino production well into the 1780s despite mounting fiscal strain on the Papal States, strain that would culminate within a decade in Napoleon's forced extraction of 21 million scudi under the Treaty of Tolentino. Bologna operated as a semi-autonomous papal legation with its own mint, and the city's coinage ran parallel to — but distinct from — Roman issues throughout the eighteenth century.
The .986 fineness held to a standard Bologna had maintained since the Renaissance, a deliberate marker of mercantile credibility in northern Italian trade networks where coin purity was negotiated rather than assumed.
