Italian Colony. Umberto I 5 Lire (Tallero) 1891 MS65 Prooflike NGC, KM4, Mont-80. Obv. Crowned bust of Umberto I right. Rev. Crowned eagle of Savoy with value. Gold, blue, and russet patinas over bold details with deeply mirrored fields. A superbly original example of this conditionally rare issue. Only two pieces have been certified Prooflike (PR) and this example is the finer of the two.

What a striking coin! And Umberto really does have quite the mustache. I'm not very familiar with 19th century Italian coins, this design is quite beautiful
