Venice. Republic Revolutionary 5 Lire 1848-V MS65 NGC, Venice mint, KM804. A scarce one-year type struck during the turmoil of 1848, this revolutionary issue exhibits sublime toning comprised of seafoam green and goldenrod, all set upon steel gray surfaces. An impeccable gem boasting tremendous eye-appeal. Compare to a similar NGC MS65, which realized a hammer of $5,500 in our 2017 NYINC auction (sale 3051, lot 31020).
