Description from the seller
Prestigious Elite Lotto composed of a total of 31 historical coins, carefully selected to unite the high intrinsic value of heavy silver with the major geopolitical themes of the 19th and 20th centuries. A splendid collection submission, ideal for demanding numismatists, free of common “petty cash” coins.
The Strong Pieces and the Rarities of the Lot (23 Silver Coins):
Kingdom of Italy - 5 Lire 1871 R (Rome): Coin of great historical and collecting significance, minted in the very first year of Rome as Capital of the Kingdom (limited print run, cataloged as Non Common - NC).
