Coins of this type were struck only in the one year 1638. It is worth noting that the one exampleof this gold multiple cited in the Corpus, an example listed in the Avignone and Franchini collectionswith a weight of 83.30g, is not illustrated, but the silver Scudo Stretto of 1638 (CNI 9) is illustrated. Itis this illustration, of a poor quality silver coin, that Varesi has used to illustrate the gold coin in MIR.Clearly there was no illustration of the extremely rare gold coin available. Pesce also had never seen anexample of this coin, and so he had doubts about its very existence.‘The C.N.I. describes a piece called a narrow doppia erroneously, with 1638 as date, which was takenfrom the Avignone-Franchini catalogue, weighing 83.30gr. and 44mm. in diameter. In the twocatalogues mentioned the diameters of the coins are not given and it is, therefore, not possible to make adefinite decision about them. If the diameter and weight are correct, then this coin would be a 12 andhalf doppie struck from a flan (sic) of the narrow scudi series.’ (Giovanni Pesce, Genoese coins, Genoa1976, p.122). However, Pesce seems to have come to the conclusion that the piece did indeed exist. In afootnote (note 21, op. cit. p.158), he observed ‘The simultaneous issue of large gold and silver multiplesin 1638 was surprising. In this first year the 25 doppie, the 12 1 ⁄2 in the two versions and the quadruplewere struck.’This piece, with a weight of 83.36g and a diameter of 44mm, confirms the C.N.I. listing, and indeedmay well be the very same coin cited in the Corpus from the Avignone and Franchini collections. Acomparison of this coin with the silver Scudo Stretto reveals clearly the superior quality of this verycarefully struck large gold piece. The coin is without doubt a great rarity, and its appearance at auctionafter an absence from the market of over a century is a significent event.WWW.SPINK.COM

Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering input tax.ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.iv. Starred and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable forVAT at this rate on importation into the EU.v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer.vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.<strong>Spink</strong> Uni (<strong>07</strong>/11) (20)
