Vittorio Emanuele III bronze Prova 10 Centesimi 1908 AU55 Brown NGC, Rome mint, KM-Pr10, Pag-323. A highly desirable pattern issue struck in bronze, featuring a beautifully depicted allegorical scene on the reverse, and the stately bust of Vittorio Emanuele III on the obverse. Evenly patinated in a rich mahogany, with hints of copper that decorate the legends and bold renderings due in part to an exacting strike. Evidence of handling and wear are minimal, and at present time, this is the only certified example of this emission at NGC.
