Tassarolo was one of dozens of tiny north Italian feudal territories that flooded the Levant trade with debased luigini during the mid-seventeenth century. French merchants had established the luigino as a trusted denomination in eastern Mediterranean commerce, and opportunistic Italian lords — Tassarolo among them — exploited that trust by issuing lightweight imitations at a profit. The Ottoman markets eventually collapsed the scheme when authorities recognized the debasement and banned the coins outright, likely around 1668.
Maria Livia Centurioni Oltremarino held the county at the time of this striking, one of the few female feudal issuers in the series.
