| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Violante Doria Lomellini facing right, with loosely flowing hair adorned with a floral ornament and ribbon, rendered in a baroque style typical of mid-17th century Italian coinage. The truncation shows elaborate drapery with a brooch or knot detail at the shoulder. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, separated from the central effigy by a beaded inner border. The portrait closely follows the typology of the Dombes luigino prototypes issued under the French princes of Dombes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Luigini were struck across dozens of small Italian lordships in the mid-seventeenth century not for domestic use but almost exclusively for export to the Levant, where they circulated as trade currency in Ottoman markets. The Lordship of Torriglia, a minor Ligurian fief held by the Doria family, issued this piece under Violante Doria Lomellini as a deliberate imitation of the Dombes type — one of the most trusted luigino designs in the eastern Mediterranean trade network. Imitating a French princely type was standard commercial logic: familiarity in the bazaars of Aleppo and Sidon mattered more than heraldic accuracy.
The MIR 569 reference places this among several die varieties documented for the Torriglia series, with III#4/7 indicating a specific pairing within that sequence.
