Sincona sale 46, lot 601

This specimen was lot 601 in Sincona sale 46 (Zürich, May 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,

"ITALY, House of Savoy/Sardinia, Carlo Alberto, 1831-1849. 20 Lire 1834, Turin. Sehr schön. (kingdom of Sardinia, Charles Albert, 1831-49, twenty lire of 1834, 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: 260,636 including a few w/o mintmark.

Specification: 6.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, .186 troy oz AGW, this specimen 6.44 g.

Catalog reference: KM 131.1; Pagani 180. Schl. 224. Fr-1142.
