This specimen was lot 30822 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $2,585. The catalog description noted, "Venice. Gold 1/4 Ducat ND (1521), Paolucci-701, XF40 NGC. Extremely rare fractional ducat. We can find no examples of this type having come up for auction in at least the past decade. Although there is some wear, perhaps this is the only opportunity to acquire a piece of this type."

note that the ducat became the zecchino during the reign of Francesco Dona.
