Sincona sale 18, lot 2812

This specimen was lot 2812 in Sincona sale 18 (Zürich, May 2014), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,

"20 Lire 1852. Genua. Gutes sehr schön. (kingdom of Sardinia, twenty lire of 1852, Genoa mint. Good very fine.)"

This type was struck at the Turin and Genoa mints 1850-61 during the reign of Victorio Emanuele II of Italy, while he was merely King of Sardinia (1849-60). It is struck to the same standard as the contemporary French twenty francs. It is, however, reasonably common.

Recorded mintage: 102,899.

Specification: 6.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, .186 troy oz AGW, this specimen 6.43 g.

Catalog reference: Pag. 341. Schl. 294. Fr-1147. KM C-126.1.
