Hello 🤖

 

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

 

Please note that this is an automatic message. Feel free to ignore if it is not relevant.

It is listed in the CNI, Vol. V, p. 410.  only struck in 1791:

 

Probably a very rare type?

Not listed

We have many coins in the catalog for which there are only one or two known examples, that have no auction results, and the only availabe photos are from museum catalogs or out of copyright books.

Probably this is one of them.

“dubious origin”

I think the options are these:

1. Remove the listing.  If this is done, we can expect that other members will try to add it back eventually based on its appearance in CNI and KM.

2. Keep the listing, but perhaps edit the comment to “Despite being listed in CNI Vol. V and Krause, modern Italian numismatic experts doubt the existence of this type.”
