Comment
Years from 1928 to 1935 have been coined for collectors only and had no legal tender.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in Italy. Victor Emmanuel III, whose image appears on the coin, was the King of Italy from 1900 to 1946, and his reign saw the rise of fascism and the rule of Benito Mussolini. The coin was minted in 1923, just a year after Mussolini's march on Rome, which marked the beginning of his dictatorship. Despite this turbulent period in Italian history, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a symbol of Italy's rich cultural heritage.
