Eritrea
Italian Colony. Umberto I 5 Lire (Tallero) 1896 MS64 NGC, KM4. This stellar type representative immediately conveys the utmost degree of quality, even upon a glance, with its universally needle-sharp detail and glassy fields layered in a luxurious silver patina. These themselves reveal very little disturbance save for a fine array of lines, as-struck, implying the use of recently polished dies in the striking process. At near-gem certification, this is the finest example seen by either PCGS or NGC to-date.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
