Sincona sale 11, lot 1928

This specimen was lot 1929 in Sincona sale 11 (Zürich, May 2013), where it sold for 600 CHF (about US$743 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"ITALIEN Venedig Francesco Erizzo, 1631-1646. Scudo della croce o. J. Gutes vorzüglich. (republic of Venice doge Francesco Erizzo, 1631-46, scudo 'of the cross', good extremely fine.)"
