Vittorio Emanuele II bimetallic silver & bronze Pattern 40 Centesimi 1860 MS61 NGC, Bologna mint, KM-Unl., Pag-42 (R3). Another wholly entrancing experimental issue struck for potential use after Italian unification, and one of a handful of contemporary, similar issues from the mints of Bologna, Turin, Florence, and Milan. Expressing a lightly reflective silver plug that remains pristine despite light evidence of handling. The only certified example between both grading services. From the Meduno Collection of Italian Provas
