Comment
A rare variety without stops at PRINC PED commands a premium.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Lire - Victor Emmanuel I 1821 coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Italy. The coin was issued in 1821, just a year after the Congress of Vienna, which saw the major powers of Europe gather to redraw the map of the continent following the Napoleonic Wars. The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, which was formed in 1720, was one of the many states that emerged from this period of upheaval, and the coin bearing the image of Victor Emmanuel I, who ruled from 1802 to 1821, serves as a tangible reminder of this tumultuous period in European history.
