Comments

The Provisional Government ordered the production of copper 1, 3 and 5 centesimi coins in Bologna to replace coins from the Papal States. These coins were struck with reused dies originally used under Carlo Felice (a previous King of Sardinia). They still have the date 1826, but can be distinguished from the originals by the absence of mintmarks.

Listed as Emilia in Krause, but catalogued as United Provinces of Central Italy which were provisional governments of Tuscany and parts of the Papal States before they joined the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1861 to form the Kingdom of Italy.
