Paolo is also an Italian given name, see Paul. For the Dune character Paolo, see Paolo

The paolo was a papal silver coin, first struck during the 16th century under Pope Paul III and named after him. It circulated throughout the Papal States with a value roughly equivalent to the giulio.

Similar coins were circulated locally in other Italian states; one was produced in Tuscany from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

The name "Paolo" may derives from the latin word "paucus" that means "little".
