This specimen was lot 2643 in Sincona sale 77 (Zürich, May 2022), where it sold for 180 CHF (about US$219 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"ITALY | Naples.Sicily. Ferdinando IV. 1. periodo, 1759-1799. Ducato (100 Grana) 1785, Napoli. PERGER unterhalb Portrait. Sehr schön. (Italy, kingdom of Naples and Sicily, Ferdinand IV, first period, 1759-99, silver ducat of 100 grana of 1785, Naples mint, "PERGER" below the portrait. Very fine.)"

Recorded mintage: unknown.
