| Opmerkingen |
The Sacro Monte della Pietà di Roma was one of the oldest pious credit institutions in Europe, established in the sixteenth century to provide low-interest loans against pledged collateral — a direct counter to usury practices the Church was actively suppressing. By the late eighteenth century it functioned as a de facto bank for the Papal States, and its fedi di credito, of which this is one, circulated as transferable credit instruments rather than state-issued currency in the modern sense.
The 250 Scudi denomination placed this squarely in the hands of merchants and institutions, not ordinary Romans. Transfer was effected by endorsement on the reverse — many surviving examples carry multiple manuscript endorsements, each one a transaction record.
