Venice. Revolutionary Republic 5 Lire 1848-V MS66 NGC, Venice mint, KM804, Dav-207, Pag-177. One-year type. Combining extremely rare technical quality with superb eye-appeal, the surfaces of this premium Gem exhibit definite prooflike characteristics in the fields with essentially no instances of observed contact marks. Scattered raindow tone that mostly concentrates around St. Mark's lion serves to further compliment the appearance. As the single finest example graded by NGC, a coin that will assuredly be the target of many world type specialists.
