Sardinia. Vittorio Emanuele I gold 80 Lire 1821 (Eagle)-L AU55 NGC, Turin mint, KM119, Mont-16 (R4), Gig-10 (R3), MIR-1027a (R3), Bellesia-155 (R3). Mintage: 965. A classically rare one-year type, produced in the final year of Vittorio Emanuele's reign just before his abdication of the throne in favor of his younger brother, Carlo Felice. Produced to a total recorded mintage of fewer than 1,000 specimens, survivors of this issue are notoriously difficult to locate in general, let alone in meaningful condition, with the vast majority of examples coming down to the present date with extensive surface marks. Though the piece seen here admits a peppering of mild contact, very little evidence of serious circulation can be detected, a quick turn of the wrist eliciting an underlying flash still present in the fields. To date, this is only the second example we have offered.
