Umberto I copper-nickel Prova 20 Centesimi 1894-M MS61 NGC, Milan mint, KM-Unl., Pag-131 (R4). A surprising and relatively unassuming rarity among the entirety of the Milanese Prova series struck among the final years of production for this branch mint. Showcasing a visually entrancing spreadwing eagle atop a globe, framed by a gently muted champagne aura and mint brilliance. Currently the only example certified to date and one that is fully deserving of placement in an advanced cabinet. From the Meduno Collection of Italian Provas
