Vittorio Emanuele III gold Matte Proof 100 Lire 1925-R PR65 NGC, Rome mint, KM66, Fr-32, Pag-645. 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. Matte Proofs very rarely enter higher Mint State level grades, as the sandblasting process can leave wispy hairlines akin to handling and thus prevent them from higher tiers. Accordingly, the present piece is rather special with a sleek, flowing surface, mustard-yellow in color and without a hint of reflective brilliance; the effect one is left with is one of power and might. Boldly detailed and without significant evidence of handling, a truly premium offering and a prize of the Italian numismatic series. Sold with mint envelope.
