Silver piastri are popular with collectors not only for their Catholic associations but also the extraordinarily vivid portraits of the various popes, including Urban VIII shown here. This type is listed for year XII (1634) and XX (1643). The second specimen was lot 588 in Jean Elsen sale 132 (Brussels, March 2017), where it sold for €380 (about US$481 including buyer's fees).
