Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupia coin from Italian Somaliland is that it was minted during a brief period of Italian colonial rule in Somalia, which lasted from 1889 to 1941. The coin features the image of Victor Emmanuel III, the King of Italy at the time, and was made of silver with a purity of .917. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
