UBS sale 85, lot 1929

This specimen was lot 1929 in UBS sale 85 (Zürich, September 2010), where it sold for 190 CHF (about US$217 including buyer's fee). The catalog description[1] noted,

The only thalers struck in Geneva in the eighteenth century are this type (1721-22) and a similar issue of 1722-23 (KM 69). Neither are common. The significance of the double-headed eagle is uncertain; it was the symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, which Geneva had left in 1648.
