The Dombes was a semi-autonomous region in France, and its rulers often minted their own coins. Anna Maria Luisa d'Orléans, linked to this coin, was a prominent noblewoman and member of the House of Orléans. This specific type of coin, the Luigino, was commonly used in international trade at the time, especially in Italy, which had strong economic connections to France.
