ITALY. Sardinia. 5 Lire, 1860-B. Bologna Mint; mm: eagle. Vittorio Emanuele II. NGC VF-35.
KM-144.2; C-124.2. Mintage: 5,044. Eagle mark next to "B" inside shield. KEY DATE to the series. By far the hardest date of the issue to locate, with several early 1850s emittances numbering over 50,000. Moderately circulated and demonstrating bright gray surfaces and hints of deeper patina where protected. Original and rather nice, this available example will be a welcome sight to series collectors.
Estimate: $200 - $400
