Sincona sale 43, lot 3495

This specimen was lot 3495 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 220 CHF (about US$263 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"ITALY | House of Savoy / Sardinia, Carlo Alberto, 1831-1849 20 Lire 1833. Turin. Sehr schön. (kingdom of Sardinia, Charles Albert, 1831-49, twenty lire of 1833, Turin mint. Very fine.)"

This type was struck 1832-45 at Turin (shown here) and Genoa. Tho not rare, it is much less common than the issues of Victor Emanuel II (1850-60). The Genoa issues are scarcer than the Turin issues even tho the mintages are generally larger.

Recorded mintage: 15,749, a better date.

Specification: 6.45 grams, 0.900 fine gold, .186 troy oz AGW, this specimen 6.42 g.

Catalog reference: KM 131.1; Pagani 178. Schl. 223. Fr-1142; Mont-47.
