On April 12, 2019 Marcello I abdicated the Seborgan throne and was succeeded by his ex-wife, Nina Marcello, who was crowned as Her Serene Highness Nina I on November 10, 2019. After she was crowned as Princess of Seborga, a new series of currency under Nina I were issued in one coin, for 1 1/2 luigini and for the principality's first banknote, for 3 luigini.

The Seborgan luigino is the official currency of the Principality of Seborga. It is pegged to the United States dollar at a rate of 1 luigino-6 US dollars. It consists of coins and banknotes issued for local circulation in Seborga and sold as souvenirs to tourists visiting the mirconation. It has no valid use as currency outside of Seborga, and euros are used alongside the luigino throughout the principality.
