| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Louis I, Prince of Monaco, facing right, depicted with long flowing hair and a lace cravat in the baroque court fashion of the period. The portrait is rendered in moderate relief with a somewhat crude but characterful style typical of provincial seventeenth-century coinage. The circular Latin legend reads LVD. I. D.G. PRINC. MONOECI., identifying the issuer as Ludovicus I by the Grace of God Prince of Monaco. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis I of Monaco struck these bilion pieces during a period when the principality's coinage rights were perpetually contested — France pressured Monaco repeatedly to abandon independent minting, and the pezzetta was among the last denominations produced before those rights were effectively curtailed. The "3 sols à l'écu" valuation reflects a dual-system accounting common in Mediterranean microstates, where local tariffing coexisted uneasily with French monetary ordinances.
The Gadoury MC48 attribution covers the full decade of issue, masking what are likely multiple die marriages across the run.
