This specimen was lot 2818 in Sincona sale 33 (Zurich, October 2016), where it sold for 300 CHF (about US$356 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"ITALIA | Kingdom. Vittorio Emanuele II. 1859-1878 5 Lire 1872. Milano. Spl. (kingdom of Italy, Victor Emanuel II, 1859-78, five lire of 1872, extremely fine.)"
This type was struck at the Rome mint 1870-78 and at the Milan mint (shown here) 1869-75 during the reign of Victorio Emanuele II of Italy. It is struck to the same standard as the contemporary French five francs. The type is quite common. The denomination was terminated in 1879 when its legal tender provision was revoked in the Latin Monetary Union.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: 7,093,000.
Specification: 25 g, .900 fine silver, .723 troy oz ASW, this specimen 24.92 g.
