bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 04/08/2010 2:43 pm This is a soldo (= 5 centesimi) of the Papal States, issued not long before the Papal States (or what was left of it) were incorporated in the new state of Italy. In 1861 most of the territory was acquired by Italy. In 1866 the pope changed the monetary system to the decimal systen in use in the rest of Italy. In 1870 he had to cede what was left of the Papal States: Rome and a small territory around Rome, to the new state. The state of Italy made Rome immediately to its capital. The effigy is of pope Pius IX. The "R" is the mintletter of the Rome Mint. It was struck in copper during the years 1866 and 1867. Mintage for 1867 is 6,500,000 and catalog value in Krause is F:3.50, VF:10.00 $ Edited by bart 04/08/2010 2:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
