| Aanvullende informatie |
Luigini were struck across dozens of small Italian and Levantine mints during the mid-seventeenth century specifically for export to the eastern Mediterranean, where they circulated at inflated values in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt — often traded well above their actual silver content. Fosdinovo's issues imitated the coinage of Dombes, a French principality whose types were among the most widely accepted in the Levant trade.
The Malaspina marquisate of Fosdinovo had neither the population nor the commerce to justify a domestic currency at this scale. The mint existed almost entirely to exploit the arbitrage.
