Italy
Venice. Revolutionary 5 Lire 1848-V, KM804, MS63 NGC. One-year type. An attractively designed revolutionary issue with the lion of St. Mark in full glory on the obverse and the frequently used denomination and wreath motif on the reverse. A much finer specimen than is typically encountered with lovingly preserved surfaces that hold full shimmering luster and delicate pastel gold and purple hues in the fields.
