Comment
Less than ten specimens of this type were struck during the construction of a new mint building. The type is a trial strike as it has ‘prova’ written on it as all Italian trial pieces do, but it does have its own KM#.Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centesimi - Victor Emmanuel III (Trial) 1908 from Italy, made of Copper weighing 10g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1908 as a trial coin, and only a limited number of pieces were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
