<p>[QUOTE="serafino, post: 6594340, member: 74574"]Beautiful coin with nice toning. Low mintage of only 73,840. Coin was minted in Torino and that's why they say Eagle on the Slab. The Eagle head mint-mark on the reverse was used by the Torino mint. If you see an Anchor there instead it would be the mint-mark of the Genova mint. Silver coins in that era were not minted on the island of Sardinia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
