This specimen was lot 21236 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Philadelphia, August 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "ITALY. Genoa. Biennial Doges, 1528-1797. 50 Lire, 1758. NGC AU-53. Griffins support crowned City Arms, 'DUX. ET. GUB. REIP. GENU.'; Reverse: Madonna and Child in clouds, 'ET. REGE. EOS.', (And [a Little Child] shall rule them). The first year of this notably elusive issue, displaying splendid gold surfaces that possess charming color and minimal handling for the grade. RARELY offered as a date, the last sold example (seemingly in low UNC quality) appearing in a May 2016 Sincona auction where it brought 36,000 CHF hammer (approximately $36,000 at the time)." Genoa was occupied by Napoleon in 1798 and made into the puppet Ligurian Republic. Genoa never recovered her independence; in 1815 she was annexed by the kingdom of Sardinia and is now part of [[Italy]]. This type, issued 1758-68, is rare. It was accompanied by 25 and 100 lire.
