Description from the seller
Prestigious Lotto 24 World Coins with Rarity Somalia Italian (One Rupiah 1915) and Kingdom of Italy
Description:
Exceptional collection lot that includes a selection of world silver and alloy coins, with a particular focus on Italian colonial emissions and the era of Vittorio Emanuele III.
The centerpiece of the lot:
Somalia Italiana: 1 Rupia silver (Vittorio Emanuele III). From the images the year 1915 is identifiable. This is a highly sought-after and rare coin, struck under the Kingdom of Italy for the Somali colony. It features the King’s bust in uniform and on the reverse the value in Italian and Arabic. A piece of great historical and numismatic importance.
Other notable pieces:
Spain: 2 Pesetas of 1870 (Provisional Government), silver .835.
USA: 3x Walking Liberty Half Dollars in silver (1940s), icons of American design.
Vatican City State: Series of 10 Lire in silver of Pius XI (including the famous "Regina Pacis").
United Kingdom & Commonwealth: Half Crown 1948 (George VI), coins of George V and a selection of Queen Elizabeth II pieces.
Switzerland: Various silver coins of the Confederation (1/2 Franc and 5 Rappen historic).
Eritrea/Colonies: Other coins in alloy and silver from the Italian colonial area.
Condition: The coins range from MB to SPL. Some specimens show a green patina (PVC residue) due to old plastic packaging, easily removable with professional conservative cleaning that would enhance their original details.
