Comment
This is one of the many examples of the Italian States officially circulating copies of the 1/12 Ecu from Dombes France.Interesting fact
The 1 Luigino coin was minted during the reign of Luigi I Grimaldi, who was the first sovereign of Monaco and ruled from 1662 to 1701. The coin was made of silver and weighed 2.15 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in Monaco and surrounding regions, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
