Vittorio Emanuele II of Sardinia

What the category brings together

Vittorio Emanuele II was King of Sardinia from 1849 and, from 1861, King of Italy. Here you will find the coins from his period as King of Sardinia: today they are all gold 20 Lire, struck in Turin and in Genoa. The dates for sale range from 1851 to 1861. For some years, such as 1851 and 1859, there are pieces from both mints: you can also choose by mint.

How to choose

For the same year and mint, the difference between two pieces lies in the grade, which here ranges from BB+ to qFDC. Hovering over the code on the item page shows its explanation: BB means Very Fine, qFDC About Uncirculated. The coins struck as King of Italy are in Vittorio Emanuele II; those in the name of the “Re Eletto” (King Elect) in Vittorio Emanuele II Re Eletto.
