| 背面描述 | Christ, nimbed and draped, stands facing within a pointed mandorla formed by a double row of beads, raising His right hand in benediction and holding a book of the Gospels in His left. The mandorla is ornamented with eight six-pointed stars arranged around its perimeter. The entire composition is closely modelled on the reverse of the Venetian zecchino, with the legend distributed around the outer beaded border. The overall style is characteristic of French feudal imitative coinage of the mid-to-late seventeenth century. |

The Dombes principality, a semi-autonomous enclave north of Lyon held by the Montpensier branch of the Bourbon family, struck these Venetian sequin imitations throughout the latter half of the seventeenth century precisely because the genuine article had become the dominant trade coin of Mediterranean and Levantine commerce. Francis Molino — Francesco Molin — served as Doge from 1646 to 1655, meaning his name and authority were borrowed by Dombes decades after his death, a practice that mattered not at all to merchants who simply wanted a coin that would pass without argument in eastern markets.
The legal ambiguity of such imitations was well understood and largely tolerated at the time, provided the gold content held close to the Venetian standard.
