Lombardy-Venetia. Republic 5 Lire 1848-M MS65 NGC, Milan mint, KM-CC22.1, Gig-31. Short Stems variety. The second highest certification level awarded to a coin of this issue by NGC, and the toning on this example is simply exquisite. A soft salmon-pink dominates the obverse field, retaining a good deal of flashy underlying luster, turning a deep champagne-yellow as it meets the legend at the peripherals. The reverse is complimentary, more of an icy white luster to the centers, and at the edges startlingly vibrant patches of red-green tone. A delightful example worthy of in-hand examination for a full appreciation of its eye-appeal.
