This is a 1941 Vatican 10 Lire. The design is a 3-year type with a total combined mintage of 24,000 for all three dates. This is the key date and it has a mintage of only 4,000 pieces.

 

The reverse is completely toned in amazing colors with a wonderful mixture of golds, red, and blues. The obverse exhibits the same colors, but not to the same extent.

 

With such a tiny mintage and the fact that these coins actually circulated, this has got to be one of the finest surviving examples and without a doubt one of the prettiest examples in existence. I was blown away when I first saw it several years ago and it's been in my collection ever since.

Frustrating. The picture linky now appears to be broken. Any chance of reposting from another copy?
