This specimen was lot 1419 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $3,840. The catalog description[1] noted, "ITALY. Tuscany. Piastre, 1677. Cosimo III de' Medici. PCGS AU-58. An immensely charming example of this classic crown that depicts St. John baptizing Christ. Far better than most seen, the surfaces reflect only slight circulation with classic cabinet tone that has imparted a rich gray base of color with strong saturations of antiqued gold, blue, and green hue visible when the coin is turned against the light. For the collector that prizes originality, this piece absolutely qualifies as a "must see"!" This type was struck 1675-79 and is quite expensive in the SCWC.
