<p>[QUOTE=&quot;petronius, post: 1702285, member: 37365&quot;]This, formally, is not a Papal coin, because the ruler is not Pope Pius VI (1775-1799), but the People&#039;s Government of Bologna, established in Bologna on June 23, 1796, after the armistice between Napoleon and the Papal States, for the will of the popular assemblies held in St. Petronio (the most important church in Bologna), that wanted a republican government.</p><p><br /></p><p>The People&#039;s Government struck in Bologna silver <i>&quot;Scudi da 10 Paoli&quot;</i> in 1796 and 1797 in three different types: your coin is the third type (more common than the other), but I&#039;m not able to identify by KM number, because it seem&#039;s to me that pictures of KM 339-340 (I have third edition of Krause 1701-1800) are both of a coin of third type, in different varieties (different varieties exist for third type). All coins were minted in Bologna, without mintmark.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People&#039;s Government of Bologna was dissolved in July 1797.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice and important coin :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>petronius :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
