The denomination 'Pᵒ DIECI' and the issuing authority 'MONTE DI PIETÀ' are set in bold letterpress type at centre. Manuscript text in Italian script records the payment obligation dated 1798, with two manuscript signatures at the lower portion. |

The Roman Republic of 1798 was a French-backed revolutionary state that displaced Pius VI and lasted barely seventeen months. The Monte di Pietà — originally a charitable pawn institution founded in the fifteenth century — was pressed into service as an emergency issuing authority when the new regime needed a functioning monetary infrastructure almost immediately. These notes were issued under acute fiscal stress, not as part of any planned currency system.
Manuscript signatures and control stamps were the only anti-counterfeiting measures available at speed. The republic collapsed in September 1799 when Neapolitan forces entered Rome, rendering the entire emission worthless overnight.
