| Opmerkingen |
The Monte di Pietà in Rome was one of the oldest pawnbroking and credit institutions in Europe, established in 1539 under papal patronage specifically to undercut usurious private moneylenders. By the late eighteenth century it functioned as a quasi-central bank for the Papal States, issuing cedole — bearer notes — that circulated alongside metallic currency among merchants and the papal administration.
At 200 scudi this is a high-denomination instrument, intended for commercial settlement rather than everyday exchange. The Papal States never developed a unified modern banking system before their eventual absorption into unified Italy, and surviving cedole from this period are correspondingly uncommon — institutional destruction of records and notes accompanied each political transition.
