Additional information

Pio VII spent nearly six years as Napoleon's prisoner — first in Savona, then Fontainebleau — before being released in 1814 and returning to Rome. The papal mints at Rome and Bologna resumed gold coinage almost immediately, reasserting temporal authority over the Papal States that the Concordat and subsequent French annexation had effectively suspended since 1809. This Doppia belongs to that post-restoration window, struck while Consalvi was renegotiating the Church's political footing across a remapped Europe.
