Lombardy-Venetia. Revolutionary Provisional Government gold 40 Lire 1848-M MS62 NGC, Milan mint, KM-C24, Fr-474. A wholly engaging issue whose classically-inspired central motif is wonderfully framed by an intensely bright golden luster gripping the legends. Devices are bold, particularly so for the standing figure of Liberty, whose dress and features seem to project forth with a near-medallic boldness.
