Interesting fact
The Victor Emmanuel III coin was designed by Italian sculptor and engraver, Giuseppe Romagnoli. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Victor Emmanuel III coin features a portrait of the king on one side and the Italian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1936 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in a small quantity for testing purposes and not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
