Sardinian scudo

Sardinian scudo

The scudo (plural: "scudi") was the currency of the island of Sardinia until 1816. It was subdivided into 2½ "lire" (singular: "lira"), each of 4 "reales", 20 "soldi", 120 "cagliarese" or 240 "denari". The "doppietta" was worth 2 scudi. It was replaced by the Sardinian lira.

Coins

In the late 18th century, coins circulated in denominations of 1 and 3 cagliarese, 1 soldo, ½ and 1 reale, ¼, ½ and 1 scudo, 1, 2½ and 5 doppietta. The cagliarese denominations were struck in copper, the soldo and reale in billon, the scudo in silver and the doppietta in gold.
