Vittorio Emanuele III gold Matte Proof 100 Lire 1925-R PR64 NGC, Rome mint, KM66, Fr-32, Pag-645. Obv. Bare head of Vittorio Emanuele III left, with oak tree and iron crown of Lombardy below. Rev. Nude athlete left, holding banner and Victory. A Rare one-year commemorative issue, celebrating the 25th year (silver jubilee) of reign for Vittorio Emanuele III and the 10th anniversary of Italy's entry into World War I. Much credit is given to brilliant Proofs with their mirror fields and cameo contrasts, but the Matte effect as seen here gives a powerful, commanding appearance; colored a mustard-yellow, minor brushes to the finish are observed over each side but do not take away from the visual effect this piece achieves. Sharply struck, a premium quality Italian offering.
