| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, a cartouche encloses a three-line denomination legend reading 20 / SOLDI / 1762, with a recumbent beam motif below. The arrangement is formal and heraldic in style, consistent with the coinage of the Corsican Republic under Paoli. The date 1762 placed in the third line of the legend confirms the year of the prototype issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Paoli's Corsican government struck coinage as a deliberate act of political legitimacy — the island had declared independence from Genoa in 1755, and a functioning mint was as much a statement of sovereignty as any constitution. The 1762 issues came from the inland mint at Murato, one of several facilities Paoli established specifically to service a functioning independent state economy.
The silver-plated steel composition reflects the chronic metal shortages that plagued the republic throughout its fourteen-year existence. Genoa's economic blockade bit hard.
