Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 100 Lire (Guglielmo Marconi; Trial Strike) 1974 from Italy is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted for circulation. The coin was minted as a trial strike, and only a limited number of pieces were produced, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
