Comment
Ahundred years ago, on May 24, 1915, Italy entered World War I that tragically involved twenty-eight Countries and inexorably changed their destiny. The defeat of Caporetto was the most difficult moment for Italy, but the Italian resistance on the Piave front represented its revenge. A coin now rekindles its historical memory to foster peace.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of World War I. The obverse side of the coin depicts a soldier's helmet and a poppy, which is a symbol of remembrance and hope for peace. The reverse side features an image of the Italian flag and the years 1915-2015, signifying the centenary of the war. The coin's design serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of remembering and honoring those who fought for their countries.
