| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a laureate male bust facing left, set within a decorative cartouche, flanked by two winged allegorical figures — either genii or tritons — seated symmetrically on either side. Above the bust, a ribbon or scroll surmounts the composition, topped by a mural or civic crown. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, with foliate or scrollwork elements at the base of the central group, in a baroque engraving style characteristic of mid-18th century Italian coinage. |

Pascal Paoli's Corsican Republic produced this silver issue during one of the stranger episodes of 18th-century European politics: a genuine constitutional republic, operating under a written constitution predating both the American and French versions, fighting for independence from Genoa while simultaneously being sold out to France. The Genoese, unable to suppress the rebellion militarily, ceded their rights over the island to Louis XV in 1768 — ending the republic just four years after this coin was still in circulation.
Paoli himself was deeply aware that coinage was a political act. Striking silver in his own name was a direct repudiation of Genoese monetary authority over the island.
