This specimen was lot 1187 in Stacks-Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2015), where it sold for $___. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "ITALY. Vatican. 100 Lire, 1943-V. NGC MS-64. Mintage of only 1,000 pieces." 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 1942-49 for Pius XII, is common as gold coins go. The lira was retired in 1999 when [[Italy]] joined the euro.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,000.

''Specification:'' 5.19 g, .900 fine gold, 20.7 mm diameter, reeded edge, .150 troy oz AGW.

''Catalog reference:'' Mont-512, Fr-287; KM-39, [[On the coinage of the Papal States|Ber-3386]].
