Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Lire coin from Italian Somaliland (Somalia) featuring Victor Emmanuel III is that it was minted during the early years of Italy's colonization of Somalia, which began in 1889. The coin was part of a series of currency introduced by the Italian government to replace the traditional Somali cowry shell currency. The 10 Lire coin was a significant denomination and was widely used in the region. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists, with some mint conditions selling for high prices at auctions.
