The Sacro Monte della Pietà di Roma was one of the oldest pawnbroking institutions in Europe, established in 1539 under papal authority to provide credit to the poor as an alternative to usurious moneylenders. By the late eighteenth century it had evolved into a quasi-banking operation, issuing fedi di credito — transferable bearer receipts — that circulated as de facto paper currency in Rome. These were not banknotes in the modern sense but notarial instruments, handwritten or partially printed, endorsed across the back as they changed hands.
The 39-scudi denomination is an odd figure, almost certainly reflecting a specific deposit or loan transaction rather than a round monetary unit designed for general circulation.
