ITALY. Venice. 5 Lire, 1848-V. NGC MS-65.KM-C-804; Gig-2; Mont-90. Mintage: 11,000. Revolutionary coinage. A SCARCE one year type especially so in this state of preservation. Produced during a tumultuous period with few surviving specimens in this loft condition, which possesses minimally marked surfaces and sharply detailed devices. The presence of pleasing steel gray and gold tone with lovely sea-foam green essence propels the eye appeal to even higher levels. Always a popular type coin with world crown collectors destine for a fine cabinet.
