| Additional information |
The Banca di Roma issued a series of silver replicas in the early 1990s reproducing historic papal and Italian state coinages, this piece replicating the Scudo d'argento struck under Charles V as Holy Roman Emperor and lord of the Kingdom of Naples — a monetary union of imperial and ecclesiastical authority that made the original scudo one of the more politically loaded coins of 16th-century Italy. The Sant'Agostino type takes its name from the Augustinian order, whose influence at the Spanish Habsburg court was considerable during Charles's reign.
