This specimen was lot 42450 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2024), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"Exceptionally Rare Post-Lateran Specimen Set, ITALY. Papal ([[Vatican]] City). Specimen Set (8 Pieces), 1930 Year IX. Rome Mint. Pius XI. All PCGS Certified. 1) 10 Lire. PCGS SPECIMEN-66. ...INCREDIBLY RARE in specimen quality and as a complete set, this wondrous array of glistening Gems provides immense ocular satisfaction and emanates from the first year following the Lateran Treaty and the settling of the longstanding 'Roman question.'"</blockquote> The king of [[Italy]] invaded and annexed the Papal States in 1870. Normal relations with the Italian government were not restored until Mussolini signed a concordat in 1929, granting the Pope sovereignty over Vatican City. Coinage began that year, struck at the Rome mint. Coins are issued for the Vatican City in symbolic amounts but as they are eagerly saved as souvenirs by tourists, they are not in short supply for collectors. This type, struck 1929-37 for Pius XI, is common as Papal coins go. The Vatican ten lire was reduced to aluminum in 1947. The lira was retired in 1999 when Italy joined the euro.

''Recorded mintage:'' 50,000.

''Specification:'' 10 g, 0.835 fine silver, 27 mm diameter.

''Catalog reference:'' [[On the coinage of the Papal States|Berman-3354]], KM-8.
