This specimen was lot 4027 in Stack's-Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2015), where it sold for $470. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "ITALY. 5 Lire, 1876-R. NGC MS-64. A lovely frosty white example." This type was struck at the Rome mint 1870-78 and at the Milan mint 1869-75 during the reign of Victorio Emanuele II of [[Italy]]. It is struck to the same standard as the contemporary French five francs. It is quite common. The earlier dates (1870-75) are quite scarce with the Rome mintmark. The denomination was terminated in 1879 when its legal tender provision was revoked in the Latin Monetary Union. Several countries, including [[Italy]], were striking large numbers of silver crowns (worth about three francs in bullion) and redeeming them in [[France]] for five francs in gold.

''Recorded mintage:'' 6,390,000.

''Specification:'' 25 g, .900 fine silver, .723 troy oz ASW.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 8.4, [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-140]].
