Definition

• Means a shield, and the coin receives its name from the figure of a shield found upon it.

  The silver Scudo, or Scudo di Argento, of the Papal States was introduced in the latter part of the sixteenth century. It was usually divided into ten Paoli or one hundred Baiocchi, and multiples exist. In the Neapolitan coinage in the eighteenth century the Scudo was equal to one hundred and twenty Grani, and at Mantua to one hundred and ten Soldi. See Ecu.
