Vittorio Emanuele II Lira 1861-F MS65 NGC, Florence mint, KM-A5, Gig-60 (R2), Mont-200 (R). A stellar rarity of inspiring technical and aesthetic caliber. A perfect dispersion of original cabinet toning blankets the surfaces, intensifying against the peripheries and in the crevices of the devices, in turn yielding an accentuating effect that lends a striking perception of relief to the raised features. Even with this decades-old patina a cartwheel effect is easily seen underneath, with even the closest inspection revealing superior surface preservation throughout. Conditionally rare at this gem level, and, exceeded only by the D. Moore specimen, which we previously sold in January of 2017.
