Interesting fact
The 1 luigino coin from the Marquisate of Fosdinovo featuring Maria Maddalena (Imitation de Dombes) is interesting because it was created during a time of economic turmoil in Italy. In the 17th century, the Italian States were facing financial difficulties, and the production of coins was often irregular and inconsistent. Despite these challenges, the Marquisate of Fosdinovo continued to mint coins, including the 1 luigino, which was made of billon and weighed 1.90 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Fosdinovo during a time of economic hardship.
