Papal States 1777 30 bolognini

from the Tom Fitzgerald Collection

This type was issued 1777-92 for Pius VI (1774-99) from the Bologna mint. At Bologna, 80 bolognini = one scudo instead of one hundred baiocchi as in Rome. Therefore thirty bolognini = one testone. This type is not listed as expensive.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 7.92 g, 0.917 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM 263, Ber-3049.
