Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Lire 1848 coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The coin was issued in 1848, which was a year of revolution and uprising across Europe, and particularly in Italy, where there was a growing movement for independence and unity. The coin's design, which features an image of the crowned arms of the House of Savoy, reflects the political ties between the Kingdom of Lombardy and the House of Savoy, which played a significant role in the unification of Italy in the 19th century.
