ITALY. Papal States. Gold 5 Lire, 1866-R XXI. PCGS MS-65 Secure Holder.
Fr-282; KM-1380; Berman-3336; Pag-545(R2). Mintage of 3,230. For the denomination, vastly more SCARCE than the silver 5 Lire, and as a type more RARE than either the 10 or 20 Lire in gold. The single finest known example by a two point margin at PCGS. Nearly prooflike fields that exhibit virtually no trace of marks. A coin that has everything going for it; rarity, magnificent preservation, and high demand among collectors. PCGS MS-65 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
