This specimen was lot 662 in Sincona Auction 103 (Zürich, May 2026), where it sold for 3,500 CHF (about US$5,334 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"ITALIEN Savoyen / Sardinien. Carlo Emanuele III. 1730-1773. Doppia 1772, Torino. Selten. Sehr schön. (Italy, kingdom of Sardinia, Charles Emanuel III, 1730-73, doppia of 1773, Turin mint. Rare, Very Fine.)"
This type was struck 1755-66, 1769-72 with all dates listed as rare. Altho doppia means "double," this coin is not a double ducat but a double scudo d'oro so we have excluded it from our category of gold ducats.
