Vittorio Emanuele III gold 100 Lire 1903-R MS62 Prooflike NGC, Rome mint, KM39, Fr-22, Pag-638. A two-year type of clear importance to the series owing to low mintages of only 966 in 1903 and 1,012 in 1905. The Prooflike qualities of this impressive offering provide heightened visual appeal to what can only be deemed a coveted issue, with the overall presentation essentially rivaling the single finer-graded MS63 example that we previously sold in January of 2015 for a total of $28,200. Lightly frosted over the devices, resulting in an amplified visual contrast against fields that retain bright and watery sun-gold luster. Only gentle wisps of handling establish the assigned grade, with a pinpoint strike yielding expressive clarity to even the smallest details in Vittorio Emanuele's hair and the eagle's feathers and crown.
