This specimen was lot 1444 in Künker sale 403 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €1,100 (about US$1,443 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"PAPST ALEXANDER VIII., 1689-1691. Die Münzstätte Rom. Giulio 1689, Rom, auf die Besitznahme des Laterans. Die Rückseitenumschrift mit SACROS / BASILIC / LATERAN / POSSESS / 1689. Fast vorzüglich.

St. John Lateran is the pope's offical seat as bishop of Rome, not St. Peter's as many people think.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
