Vittorio Emanuele III gold Matte Proof 100 Lire 1925-R PR66 NGC, Rome mint, KM66, Fr-32, Mont-17, Pag-645. Obv. Bare head left; below, oak tree growing between Iron Crown of Lombardy. Rev. Nude male athlete sprinting left, holding banner and small statue of Victory; fasces below. Commemorating the Silver Jubilee of the King's reign, as well as the 10th anniversary of Italy's entrance into World War I. Struck to impressive relief with satiny, sandblasted surfaces revealing hardly a hint of handling, the general preservation placing this specimen at the forefront of NGC's certified population, where only a single example achieves the PR67 level. A more eye appealing example is thus unlikely to be encountered by the vast majority of collectors, marking this offering as a true jewel of the Italian interwar period.
