| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The luigini were a deliberate fraud on a continental scale. Dozens of minor Italian and French lords, ecclesiastical authorities included, struck these small silver coins in the 1660s specifically for export to the Levant, where they circulated as imitations of the French Louis d'argent — accepted by weight and appearance rather than issuer. The Abbey of Lérins, holding the tiny principality of Seborga on the Ligurian coast, was one of the more obscure participants in this scheme.
The Ottoman and Levantine markets eventually collapsed under the flood of debased imitations, prompting France to formally protest the practice by the early 1670s — which explains the tight production window for virtually every luigino issue.
