Interesting fact
The 1 luigino coin from the Marquisate of Fosdinovo (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 1.90g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Cristina Pallavicini Malaspina, who was a powerful woman ruler in a time when women were often excluded from positions of power. She ruled the Marquisate from 1664 until her death in 1701, and her coinage is a testament to her legacy as a leader.
