VERY RARE - THE COINS OF THE POPES - THE COINS OF THE POPES - ANGELO CINAGLI - ENGRAVINGS - FIRST EDITION 1848. VERY RARE - THE COINS OF THE POPES - THE COINS OF THE POPES BY ANGELO CINAGLI - ENGRAVINGS - ORIGINAL EDITION 1848. Composed of synoptic tables, this work describes the coins struck under the various pontificates from Gregorio III from 731 to 741 to Pius IX in 1846. From the 11th to the 13th century, the main coins of Rome are always issued by the papal authority, as the first legislator of the city, but they are issued "in the name of the Senate and the Roman people" that the pope represents civilly.

From 1305 the popes are installed in Avignon, close to the powerful Capetian sovereigns. Since the end of the 10th century, they no longer issue coins in their own name and content themselves with striking deniers in the name of the Roman Senate. By leaving Rome, they regain the opportunity to strike coins as popes of Western Christendom. Thus, from the 14th century, papal coins continue to multiply and diversify.

In fact, each new pope, not daring to withdraw the emissions of his predecessors, simply adds his new strike, which adds to the previous ones. The pontifical monetary system then becomes one of the richest and most complex in the West.
