Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 luigino coin from the Lordship of Torriglia is that it features an image of Violante Doria Lomellini, a prominent noblewoman from the 17th century, on its obverse side. This is notable because it was unusual for coins from this time period to feature a woman's image, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
