Italy
Papal States. Pius IX gold 20 Lire Anno XXI (1866)-R MS65★ NGC, Rome mint, KM1382.2, Mont-345, Gig-266. Reeded edge. A usually unremarkable and prolific date, presented here with an unusually Prooflike appearance accentuated by highly reflective surfaces and sharply rendered design elements. Scarce in this finish, and certainly an exceptional representative.
