| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain paper reverse printed in letterpress with the denomination repeated multiple times across the surface in a regular pattern. The word TRENTATRE and numeral 33 appear in ruled typographic cartouches distributed across the field in rows, serving both as a value indicator and a rudimentary security device against alteration. Show-through of the obverse text is visible due to the thin paper stock. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Monte di Pietà in Rome was one of the oldest pawnbroking institutions in Europe, founded in 1539 under papal patronage to provide interest-free or low-interest loans to the poor as an alternative to usurers. By the late eighteenth century it had evolved into a quasi-banking authority issuing cedole — essentially circulating credit certificates backed by deposited pledges. The 33 scudi denomination is an odd figure, almost certainly reflecting a specific loan bracket rather than any round-number banking convenience.
1795 placed the institution four years from the French invasion that would temporarily abolish papal civil authority and replace Roman currency systems entirely. Notes from this period rarely survived the upheaval intact.
