Italian Colony. Vittorio Emanuele III silver Prova 5 Lire 1925-R MS63 NGC, Rome mint, KM-Pr12, Pag-405 (R), Gig-P10 (R3), Mont-480 (R3). Prova di Stampa variety. Beautifully rendered on the silver planchet beneath with characteristic shallowness to the design. A soft peach aura emanates from the fields to greet the viewer's eye and call for additional consideration. The piece at hand remains the lone certified specimen at NGC, with only a single other noted by PCGS that we handled last year as a pair. Ex. Carl F. Chirico Jr. Collection (Bowers and Merena Auctions, March 2008, Lot 5804) From the Meduno Collection of Italian Provas
