Comment
Years from 1937 to 1941 have been coined for collectors only and had no legal tenderInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Lire - Victor Emmanuel III 1936-1941 coin from Italy is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1936, just a few years after Benito Mussolini's fascist regime came to power, and it remained in circulation until 1941, when Italy's involvement in World War II led to the replacement of the coin with a new design. This coin is a tangible reminder of a complex and tumultuous period in Italian history.
