Vittorio Emanuele II silvered copper 20 Centimes ND AU55 NGC, Florence mint, Pag-54. A series of Pattern pieces produced under 'Studies for the coinage of the Kingdom (1860-1861)'. The attribution to the Florence mint has been questioned in numismatic literature, but as Pagani lists this piece under the 'Zecca di Firenze' subtitle - although with a heavy questionmark - the cataloger concedes. With anthracite patination dappled with some lighter areas of ash. Ex. Nomisma Auction 64 (December 2021, Lot 1161) From the Meduno Collection of Italian Provas
