Victor Emmanuel II (1861-1878) 10 Cents 1862 Experiment - Luppino PP88 CU RRR According to the relevant literature (Cagiati), this 10-cent bronze issue would constitute an experiment for a new currency, coined presumably in the Naples mint in 1862 as a result of the special coeval economic needs, related to the loose currency circulation in the southern provinces, caused by the adoption of the decimal system. it would have been put into circulation, perhaps 20,000 pieces, later almost all withdrawn, to conduct a survey as to its actual usefulness. This initiative may have helped pave the way for the later establishment of the bronze, legal tender, 10-cent coin, which, up to that point, had been opposed by both the Monetary Commission and Parliament. The very few remaining coins have almost all circulated, generally being in MB or BB condition. The one proposed by us, on the other hand, is in an exceptional state of preservation and comes from the Varesi 55 auction, Demicheli Collection April 8 and 9, 2010, lot number 381, and former Rocca collection - FDC
