| Additional information |
Paulus V — Camillo Borghese — was elected in May 1605 after the eleven-day pontificate of Leo XI, itself one of the shortest in papal history. The Borghese papacy would prove financially aggressive, and the early copper issues of 1605–1606 reflect a mint in transition, striking small-denomination utility coinage as the new administration established its fiscal footing in Rome.
The Berman 1583 attribution places this squarely among the first-year issues before the type was revised.
