Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centesimi - Victor Emmanuel II 1862-1867 coin from Italy is that it was designed by the artist Giuseppe Ferrari, who was a prominent sculptor and engraver of the time. The coin features a portrait of Victor Emmanuel II, the King of Sardinia and later the first King of Italy, on one side, and the coat of arms of the House of Savoy on the other. The coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Italy, as the country was in the process of unifying under a single government. Despite its relatively low denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
