<br />
This specimen was lot 582 in Sincona sale 46 (Zurich, May 2018), where it sold for 1,000 CHF (about US$1,200 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''ITALY, Parma, Ottavio Farnese, 1547-1586. Scudo doro 1556. Gutes sehr schön.'' (duchy of Parma, Octavius Farnese, 1547-86, gold scudo of 1556. Good very fine.)"</blockquote> Parma was long attached to the duchy of Milan but while Milan was occupied by the French in the 1510's, Parma was seized by the pope. It remained a papal fief until pope Paul III granted it to his son Pier Luigi Farnese (r. 1545-47), who established a line there that survived until the eighteenth century. Ottavio Farnese, mentioned on this coin, was the son of Pier Luigi.<br />
