| Opmerkingen |
The Sacro Monte della Pietà di Roma was a papal pawnbroking institution — technically a charitable monte, not a bank in any modern sense — whose paper instruments circulated as de facto currency in the Papal States for over two centuries. By 1797, the institution was operating under extreme duress: Napoleon's Italian campaign had already forced Rome into the humiliating Treaty of Tolentino in February of that year, stripping the papacy of territories and demanding enormous indemnities. Notes of this period were issued into a city bracing for occupation, which arrived the following year.
The denomination itself — 31 Scudi — reflects the monte's origins in pawn valuations rather than rational monetary design.
