2 Luigini - Giorgio I Independence

Seborga's claim to independence rests on a disputed medieval charter and the 1963 self-proclamation of Giorgio Carbone as "His Tremendousness Prince Giorgio I." The principality — a small hilltop village in Liguria — was never formally ceded to the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1729, or so its residents argued. Coins like this one were struck more as political theater than circulating currency, sold primarily to tourists and collectors as funding mechanisms for the ongoing sovereignty campaign.

Carbone died in 2009. The Italian government has never acknowledged any of Seborga's claims.
