Seborga to terytorium przyznane w 954 r. przez hrabiego Gui z Ventimiglia opatom opactwa Saint Honorat w Lérins, którzy uczynili z niego księstwo kościelne. Benedyktyni, osiedleni na wyspie Saint Honorat naprzeciwko Cannes, wybijali w latach 1667-1671 niezwykle rzadkie luigini z wizerunkiem świętego Benedykta, założyciela ich zakonu. Te Luigini nie odniosły sukcesu na Wschodzie z powodu wizerunku chrześcijańskiego świętego i zostały odrzucone. Mennica została zainstalowana na parterze ich klasztoru lub pałacu, kierowanego przez mistrza Bernardino Boreste. W 1729 r. księstwo zostało sprzedane księciu Sabaudii.

Seborga is a territory claimed as granted in 954 by Count Gui of Ventimiglia to the abbots of Saint Honorat Abbey in Lérins who will make it an ecclesiastical principality. These Benedictines, settled on the island of Saint Honorat opposite Cannes, struck from 1667 to 1671 extremely rare Luigini with the effigy of Saint Benedict, founder of their order. These Luigini did not achieve success in the East because of the effigy of the Christian Saint and were rejected. The mint was installed on the ground floor of their convent or palace, directed by the master Bernardino Boreste. In 1729, the principality was sold to the Duke of Savoy.
