Comment
Coins dated 1937 and 1938 were made for collectors only and were not legal tenderInteresting fact
The 2 Lire coin featuring Victor Emmanuel III was minted during a time of significant political change in Italy. The coin was introduced in 1936, just a year after Benito Mussolini's fascist regime took power, and it was minted until 1939, the year Italy invaded Ethiopia, which led to the country's involvement in World War II. This coin is a small but interesting piece of history that reflects the complex political landscape of Italy during that time.
