This specimen was lot 78125 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, November 2025), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "ITALY. Sardinia. 3 Cagliarese, 1671/6. Charles II of Spain. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, EF Details. From the Richard August Collection." This obscure type was struck by the Spanish 1668-95 for the island of Sardinia. Numista says this coin was 1/100 of a scudo. Upon the death of Charles II of Spain in 1700 and the extinction of the Spanish Hapsburgs, the island passed through various hands until becoming a possession of the dukes of Savoy, who took the title of king of Sardinia in 1718.
