The Victor Emmanuel III coin was designed by Italian artist and engraver, P. Rastrelli, and features a portrait of Victor Emmanuel III, the King of Italy from 1900 to 1946. The coin was minted in 1940 as a trial piece, but it was never officially released into circulation due to the outbreak of World War II. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
