This specimen was lot 1537 in Sincona sale 6 (Zürich, May 2012), where it sold for 4500 CHF (about US$5,537 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"ITALIEN Piacenza Odoardo Farnese, 1622-1646. Scudo 1626, Piacenza. Geharnischte Büste mit Halskrause rechts. Rv. Hl. Antonius zu Pferd nach rechts mit Fahne in der Rechten. Selten. Vorzüglich.
