Sincona sale 90, lot 1886

This specimen was lot 1886 in Sincona sale 90 (Zürich, May 2024), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,

"SAN MARINO Republik, 2 Lire 1906 R, Roma. Fast FDC. Minimale Belagreste. (republic of San Marino, two lire of 1906, Rome mint. About uncirculated, Some minor PVC residue.)"

Recorded mintage: 15,000.

Specification: 10 g, 0.835 fine silver, 27 mm diameter, this specimen 10.01 g.
