Vittorio Emanuele III gold 50 Lire 1912-R MS63 NGC, Rome mint, KM49. As the only real collectible date from this fleeting series, this attractive gold selection features the classic bust of Vittorio Emanuele III and a delightful allegorical reverse deign, both of which are boldly-defined. Additionally, the surfaces are replete with golden luster, that upon rotation, highlight the prominently displayed devices, surrounding them in a halo of golden brilliance. The fields themselves are quite impressive, exhibiting fewer than usual contact marks which are all to common for the type. An altogether choice specimen and an ideal representative in all regards.
