Italy 20 lire Victor Emmanuel II KM-10.1 Gigante-9 MS 62 PCGS gold coin 1862

This Italy 20 Lire 1862 KM-10.1 (Gigante 9) gold coin is a remarkable early issue of the Kingdom of Italy, struck during the reign of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy. Certified MS62 by PCGS, it represents one of the foundational coin types of modern Italian numismatics. The obverse features a finely engraved left-facing portrait of King Victor Emmanuel II with a full beard, detailed hair, and the date below, all surrounded by the royal legend and a delicate beaded border. The reverse displays the crowned Savoy shield with a bold cross at its center, framed by elegant laurel and oak branches tied with a ribbon. The denomination L.20, mintmark, decorative ornaments, and circular inscription complete the stately composition. The Savoy coat of arms symbolizes the newly unified Italian state, while Victor Emmanuel II remains celebrated as the monarch who guided the unification movement known as the Risorgimento. Struck in gold and certified PCGS MS62, this historic coin is an exceptional acquisition for collectors of European gold, Italian monarchy, and nineteenth-century coinage.
