This Decree is an important step in the struggle for independance of the Principato di Seborga. After 330 years the Principato has again its own currency.

To illustrate the importance of this subject we quote the concerning part of the


"THE REAL HISTORY OF SEBORGA"

"The Principality however abtained slight progress when, with the powers that were conceded by the Emporer of Vienna who had sanctioned the absolute sovereignty of the "Sacred Roman Empire" the Monks opened a mint for the mintage of coins in gold and silver.

It was the 24th of December 1666.
The money however was not well received on the European markets, in fact the King of Sardinia had prohibited its use in Savoia in 1667, two years later it was badly tollerated such affermations of sovereignty with a decree from the Council of State dated the 1st of July 1686, signed by the Minister of Finance Colbert, ordered the Abbay of Lerino to procede with the closure of the Mint of the Principality.

Contestations followed which lasted two years and there was even the personal opposition of His Majesty who entrusted the Superintendent of Justice, Police and Finance of Provenca. Signore Morant to have the order executed.

Lerino on French territory for a quiet life and never forgetting that the "Principality" enjoyed the protection of that court at the beginning of 1668 had Seborga close the Mint."
