Vittorio Emanuele III 20 Lire Anno V (1927)-R UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, Rome mint, KM69, Pag-671 (R3). A very rare offering of the "Anno V" variety, which saw a mere 100 specimens struck. This contrasts by several orders of magnitude with the much more common "Anno VI," which was produced to a figure that exceeded 3.5 million. This artistic specimen displays a semi-matte appearance owing to fine hairlines over the surfaces that have resulted from a past cleaning. However, the offering has nicely toned over since, with a soft steel hue decorating both the obverse and reverse faces, and a generally sharp level of detail that remains fully unimpacted by exchange. A fleeting opportunity to own an indisputable rarity of the 20th-century Italian series.
