This specimen was lot 622 in Jean Elsen sale 132 (Brussels, March 2017), where it sold for €150 (about US$190 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"ITALIE, ETATS PONTIFICAUX, Innocent XII (1691-1700), (Antonio Pignatelli), AR giulio, 1694, an 4, Rome. D/ Armoiries. R/ BELLVM CONTERAM DE TERRA Une bombarde tirant à d.

Obverse: arms; reverse: a cannon fires to right; to left, a soldier bears a lance. Very fine.)"

This is one of twelve giulii for this ruler, this one a plea for peace between France and Austria during one of Louis XIV's wars.

Recorded mintage: unknown but a better type.
