Old banknotes of the Papal States
The Papal States issued their first banknotes in the 18th century, known as "cedole". These banknotes, printed in Rome, circulated until the unification of Italy in 1870. During this period, several series were issued, including the famous "Assignati" during the Napoleonic occupation. These ancient banknotes are now highly valued collector's items by numismatists.
Current Vatican banknotes
Since the creation of the Vatican City State in 1929, commemorative and legal tender coins have been issued, but no banknotes of their own. The Vatican has used the euro as its official currency since 2002, following an agreement with the European Union. However, the Vatican has the right to issue a limited number of euros with its own designs, which are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
