Issued with denominations in name only as they didn't actually have a legal tender status, these rare emissions were produced to fulfil collector demand as, outside of the copper 5 and 10 Centesimi denominations, no other nickel or silver coinage was issued in this period. As such, these examples clearly possess IMMENSE RARITY, especially when encountered together in a grouping such as this and in elite, Gem preservation as is the case here.
Estimate: $16000 - $24000
