This specimen was lot 1433 in Künker sale 403 (Osnabruck, March 2024), where it sold for €320 (about US$420 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''PAPST INNOCENZ XI., 1676-1689. Die Münzstätte Rom. Testone A XI/1687, Rom. Mit gerolltem Rahmen und Blattwerk auf der Rückseite. Herrliche Patina, vorzüglich.'' ([[Vatican|Papal States]], Innocent XI, 1676-89, testone of the year 11, 1685, Rome mint. Reverse: rolled frame and foliage. Superb patina, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> Berman lists seven different testone for this pope, varying in the design of the cartouche on the reverse. Ber-2102 (shown here) has cartouche on the reverse (struck 1684-89); -2103 adds a seraph (1684); -2104 has a laurel wreath (1684-85); -2105 has a rectangular plaque (1685); [[Papal States 1686 testone KM-507|-2106]] has the motto within an ornamental wreath (1686); -2107 within double hexagon (1686); [[Papal States 1689 testone|-2108]] within palm wreath (1689). Many varieties also come without date; none are rare. The testone was thirty baiocchi, while the [[Papal States 1689 piastra Dav-4098|piastra]], the Italian equivalent of the German thaler, was 105 baiocchi (3½ testone). The reverse motto, "MELIVS EST DARE QVAM ACCIPERE," is the well known, "It is better to give than to receive."
