Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and unification in Italy. The United Provinces of Central Italy, which issued the coin, was a short-lived political entity that was formed in 1859 and dissolved in 1860, when it became part of the Kingdom of Italy. This coin, featuring Victor Emmanuel II, was likely minted to commemorate the unification of Italy and the establishment of a new national identity.
