Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Centesimi - Victor Emmanuel III (Stab. Johnson Pattern Strike) 1903 from Italy is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was created as a pattern strike, which means it was produced as a test or sample coin, and not intended for widespread use. The design features a portrait of Victor Emmanuel III on one side and an image of the Italian coat of arms on the other. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
