Italian Colony. Umberto I Proof 50 Centesimi 1890-M PR67 NGC, Milan mint, KM1. Likely among the finest survivors of the type, this tiny yet eye-appealing specimen contains full flash that leaps from the fields and the beginnings of autumnal color forming a crescent shape at the rims. The portrait of the Italian King is outstanding, featuring a silk texture that nicely contrasts the mirrors, and the open fields are free of any notable post-strike issues.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
