Umberto I gold 100 Lire 1888-R MS61 Prooflike PCGS, Rome mint, KM22, Fr-18, Pag-570. With an issuance of just 1,169 pieces, the example at hand finds itself in rare company, with most of the certified issues not surpassing MS62. Few can claim to match the aesthetic quality of the present example, the Prooflike appearances easily discernible, and despite contact marks and wisps precluding this from higher technical designation, the deep golden mirrors and frosty devices are obvious.
