Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Lira coin was designed by Italian sculptor and engraver, Giuseppe Romagnoli, and it features a unique pattern that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's design includes a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the coat of arms of Italy, which is topped by a crown. The wreath is made up of two branches, one on either side of the coat of arms, and each branch has three leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Italian people.
