This specimen was lot 2782 in Sincona sale 80 (Zurich, October 2022), where it sold for 6,000 CHF (about US$7,191 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "ITALY | House of Savoy / [[Italy, Sardinia|Sardinia]], Vittorio Emanuele II. 1849-1861. 5 Lire 1854, Torino. Rare in this condition. NGC MS65." The Duchy of Savoy was an Italian state wedged between France and Milan and was often the victim of invasions from both directions. In 1720, the duke acquired the island of Sardinia and promoted himself to king of Sardinia. In 1799, king Carlo Emanuele IV was evicted by Napoleon and the region converted to the Ligurian Republic then annexed to France. Sardinia did not recover her independence until 1815. The king was rewarded by Metternich with the republic of Genoa, which he added to his territory and opened a branch mint there in addition to his existing mint at Turin. The Turin mint used an eagle's head as a mintmark while coins struck at Genoa sported an [[Sardinia 1852(g) P 5 lire|anchor]]. The Genoa mint five lire are rather more common than the Turin product.

''Recorded mintage:'' 73,840, most common date for the mint.
