This type, nicknamed a ''muraiola'', is listed for 1785-97 and was struck in Rome. It is undated but shows the regnal year (XXIII) on the obverse. Another variety for 1797 (KM 1226.2) shows the date. The early coinage of the Papal States used an antique monetary system. After 1830, five quattrini = one baiocco; 100 baiocchi = one scudo. In 1866, the currency was reformed to use centesimi and lire in order to match that of the surrounding kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the Papal States were occupied and annexed by the kingdom of [[Italy]] and coinage ceased until 1929.
