Vittorio Emanuele III gold Matte Proof 100 Lire 1925-R PR64+NGC, Rome mint, KM66, Mont-17 (R2), Gig-8 (R), Pag-645. Mintage: 5,000. Struck in commemoration for the Silver Jubilee of Vittorio Emanuele III in a special matte finish. An interplay of light and texture emerges from the flan as brilliant highpoints shine against the quiet surfaces, likely an impetus for the awarded "plus" designation. Charcoal silhouetting is just visible along the obverse portrait and legends, a flare of originality to be enjoyed by this spectacular specimen's next benefactor.
