The first specimen was lot 3555 in Goldberg sale 75 (Los Angeles, September 2013), where it sold for $690. The catalog description[1] noted, "Italian States - Lombardy-Venetia. Sovrano, 1831-M. Francis I. Older laureate head right. NGC graded EF-45." This specimen was lot 3495 in Künker sale 264 (Osnabrück, June 2015), where it sold for €600 (about US$775 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted, <blockquote>"''Franz I. 1804-1835. Sovrano 1831 (Jahreszahl im Stempel aus 1821 geändert), M, Mailand. 10,20 g Feingold. GOLD. Sehr schön-vorzüglich.'' (kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, Francis I, sovrano of 1831/21, Milan mint. Very fine to extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This denomination was originally introduced for circulation in the Austrian Netherlands, where it was called the ''souverain d'or''. It was struck in Milan 1820-31, Vienna 1822-3 and 1831 and in Venice in 1822. The kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia was assembled by the Austrians to provide a unified administration for the Italian territories under their rule. This comprised the former duchies of Milan and Mantua and the republic of Venice. [[Italy, Milan|Milan]], under Spanish rule from the 1500's, fell to the [[Austria]]ns in 1714 and held by them until 1797 when Napoleon seized it. Napoleon gave [[Italy, Venice|Venice]] (until then independent) to Austria as compensation for her loss of Milan and Belgium. The area passed back and forth between the French and Austrians until the Congress of Vienna in 1814-15, when Metternich awarded it to Austria. Austria ruled Venetia until 1866, when it passed to the new kingdom of Italy.
