This specimen was lot 1250 in Künker sale 352 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €1,800 (about US$2,505 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''ITALIEN, GENUA, Republik (Dogi Biennali), 1528-1797. 1/2 Doppia 1652, Genua. Mit Münzzeichen IAB auf der Rückseite. GOLD. RR Sehr schön.'' (Italy, republic of Genoa, biennial doges, 1528-1797. Half doppia of 1652, Genoa mint with mintmaster's initials IAB. Rare, very fine.)"</blockquote> The ''doppia'' was originally a double ''scudo d'oro'' so having a half doppia wouldn't seem to make much sense but there it is. The SCWC lists this type for 1639-41, 1648, 1652, 1655-58, 164, 1675, 1690-92, 1697, 1709-36, 1747-49. One-eighth thru five doppia are also recorded. The SCWC lists this with the weight and fineness of a traditional ducat tho we suspect it was probably lighter.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 3.50 g, .986 fine gold, this specimen 3,32 g.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 90, Fr-432; Lunardi 265 leicht var.
