| Additional information |
The Ticino scudo is a cantonal bullion and collector issue, reviving a unit of account that had practical currency in the region during the years of Napoleonic reorganization — the Helvetic Republic briefly standardized the scudo across its Italian-speaking territories before the Confederation restored cantonal autonomy in 1803. Banca dello Stato del Cantone Ticino has issued this denomination periodically as a regional identity piece rather than circulating currency.
