The Banca dello Stato Pontificio was issuing notes against an increasingly untenable political position. By 1867, French troops remained the only practical guarantee of the Papal States' survival against the Kingdom of Italy's unification drive — and that garrison was already unpopular in Paris. This 100 Lire note predates by just three years the September 1870 breach of Porta Pia, after which the bank's notes became obligations of a state that no longer existed.
Surviving examples tend to show heavy fold wear; these were working instruments of a government running short on options, not ceremonial currency.
