ITALY. Kingdom. 5 Lire, 1878-R. Rome Mint. Umberto I. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield. Dav-141; KM-20. Hardly ever encountered in grades of Mint State, this handsome crown is exceeded by just two other pieces in the PCGS census. Most attractively toned, it offers great brilliance emanating from the fields and intricate detail in areas such as the kings hair. Assuredly destined for a fine cabinet of advanced Italian or crown-sized issues in general.
