| Additional information |
The Roman Republic of 1798–1799 was a French client state, proclaimed after Napoleon's armies expelled Pope Pius VI from Rome in February 1798. It lasted barely eighteen months before Neapolitan and then French counter-pressures collapsed it entirely. This scudo was struck within that narrow window — one of the only silver issues the republic managed to produce before its extinction.
Pius VI died a French prisoner in Valence in August 1799, never returning to Rome.
