[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 4597768, member: 4298"]Almost everything has already been said and well written. Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans was Princess of the Dombes principality. She was born to Marie de Montpensier and Gaston d'Orléans in 1627 CE. Her mother passed away soon after her birth, and her father ruled the principality as a regent until her majority. The family was of highest rank, Gaston being king Louis XIII's brother, hence Louis XIV'S uncle. When Anne Marie Louise issued her famous 5 sols silver coins, aka [I]luigini[/I], they soon became very popular in the Middle East countries, allegedly because they featured an advantadgeous female bust.
