Venice. Revolutionary gold 20 Lire 1848 MS61 NGC, Venice mint, KM806, Pag-176, Gig-1 (R2). Mintage: 5,250. A fleeting one-year type produced by the short-lived independent Venetian government. Eye-catching prooflike flash draws the eyes to the peripheries while the devices remain discernably sharp throughout, only the mildest highpoint rub to be observed on the obverse. A bit of noise in the expanses precludes a finer designation.
