1 luigino - Giorgio Ier prova

Seborga's claim to principality status rests on a medieval deed and a 1963 village vote that elected Giorgio Carbone — a flower farmer — as Prince Giorgio I. The Italian government never recognized any of it. These luigini were struck as a direct provocation: the luigino was a 17th-century silver coin genuinely issued by Seborga under Cistercian rule, giving Carbone's minting program a thin but real historical hook. This piece, marked as a prova, is a trial strike predating the circulating issue — produced in the year Seborga began formally selling its currency to tourists.
