| Aanvullende informatie |
Tassarolo was a tiny Imperial fief in Liguria controlled by the Spinola family, who exploited a loophole in the Holy Roman Empire's minting rights to produce luigini — small silver coins cynically engineered to imitate French louis d'argent at fractional weight. These flooded the Levant trade routes throughout the 1660s, where Levantine merchants initially accepted them at face value before the Ottoman authorities caught on. The operation was essentially sanctioned counterfeiting at a feudal scale.
The "Livia" designation refers to Livia Centuriona Oltremarino, the ruling countess under whose authority this piece was struck.
