Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Lire coin from Italy featuring Victor Emmanuel III is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in Italy. The coin was introduced in 1901, just a few years after Italy had become a unified nation, and it was minted until 1907, when Victor Emmanuel III was still the King of Italy. During this time, Italy was undergoing rapid modernization and industrialization, and the coin reflects this change with its modern design and use of silver. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
