Papal States. Pius IX gold 100 Lire 1869-R Anno XXIV MS62 NGC, Rome mint, KM1383. Fr-278. An outstanding selection with instant allure, this mint-state offering displays glorious, amber-gold tone and intensely-reflective fields that glimmer upon rotation. Other than light handling marks which are fairly commonplace for coin of this size, the surfaces are clear of any discernable marks. A highly-popular issue with a low date mintage of just 450 pieces, absolutely coveted in this select level of preservation.
