This specimen was lot 34018 in Heritage sale 3098 (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $3,120. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Italy]]: [[Italy, Livorno|Livorno]]. Cosimo III de'Medici Tallero 1687 MS63 NGC, Livorno mint. The sole certified example of this date at NGC, and perhaps the finest of all examples that we could locate having sold publicly in the last decade based on photographic comparison. Decorated in a bright sheet of rolling argent luster that sparkles intensely across micro-granular flow lines which contour the devices and peripheral legends, this choice conditional rarity is further notable for its use as the "plate coin" in NGC's online price guide." This type was struck by the Medici Grand Duke of [[Italy, Tuscany|Tuscany]] for Livorno 1683-1700. The Italian word ''tollero'' may be translated into the German word ''thaler'' or the English word ''dollar''.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.
