ITALY. 100 & 50 Lire, 1936-R.
Fr-35 & 37; KM-82 & 83; Gig-25 & 42; Mont-13 & 24. A VERY RARE pair, among the last gold issues of the Fascist regime. The 50 Lire has a mintage of 790 pieces and is graded PCGS MS66; the 100 Lire has a mintage of 812 pieces and is graded PCGS MS65. As their grades suggest, both coins remain in exceptional, minimally handled condition, each displaying fine, silky luster in the fields and raised designs that are sharp and fully executed. As is common for the period, each coin has a few copper toning spots, their presence more an indication of their combined originality than a detriment. An EXTREMELY RARE opportunity to acquire both issues (both unsurpassed in grade at PCGS) in one fell swoop. PCGS MS-65 & 66.
Estimate: $36000.00- $40000.00
