I bought this at 20% below melt but can't find another like it.
Its for the Centenary of the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. The obverse has the busts of four important figures in the Risorgimento:
Victor Emanuel, Cavour, Garibaldi & Mazzini. It's a big piece, 22 gr of .925 silver and 40 mm diameter. It's stamped 925 & 1 AR. No maker's mark.

Thanks for that Doc. You know there are times when I wonder if I'm using the same Google as the rest of humanity. No matter what variety of search parameters I tried, nothing. On reading the link provided I thought that it was maybe the same place the seller had taken his info, as he'd wrongly described it as 2 1/4". But he also put the names of the dignitaries in the right order, which the JFK does not; so there has to be another source out there. Somewhere.
