This specimen was lot 72404 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2019), where it sold for $100. The catalog description[1] noted, "ITALY. Lira, 1916-R. Rome Mint. NGC MS-62. A brilliant, blast white piece with beaming luster struck in the midst of the Great War." This type of 1915-17 rounded out the series of silver one lire. The matching French silver franc was terminated in 1920. When production of the lira resumed in 1922, it was a nickel coin.
Recorded mintage: 1,835,000, the scarcest date.
Specification: 5 g, 0.835 fine silver, 23 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-57; Mont-201.
