These coins were available from the Kingdom of Italy until the 1920s when many of the options were phased out.

The coins of the Italian lira have a deeply rooted history in the past coinage of the Italian peninsula. You can trace a line back through history from the 1861 issuance of the Italian lira by the Kingdom of Italy to the coins of the Roman Empire.

Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the city-states and lesser kingdoms that would form in the region during the Middle Ages and Renaissance issued their own coins based on ancient Roman coins. The most important was undoubtedly the florin, a form of currency that would eventually inspire the lira of Sardinia, the most closely associated currency to the Italian lira.

For the obverse design of 1862/1881 20 Lire Gold Italian Coins, the mints issuing these specimens featured a depiction of the reigning monarch. The 1862 coin was issued during just the second year of availability and came out when King Victor Emmanuel II was on the throne. The 1881 coin was issued in the fourth year of the reign of King Umberto I and features his effigy. Both monarchs are featured in left-profile relief on their respective coins.

In the reverse design of the 1862/1881 20 Lire Gold Italian Coins is the coat of arms for the Kingdom of Italy. The shield of the kingdom is quartered and topped by an imperial crown. There is a wreath around the shield and inscriptions for the name of the kingdom and the value of the coins.

These 1862/1881 20 Lire Gold Italian Coins are available with AU53+ grades from the NGC. The coins are packaged in protective plastic slabs. Coins in this condition showcase light or even just trace wear on the highest relief points with medium to near-full luster remaining. We do not guarantee which date mark you will receive through this listing.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
