Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Lire coin was designed by Italian sculptor and engraver, Giuseppe Romagnoli, and it features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a series of interconnected circles and lines that form a geometric design, which was meant to symbolize the unity and connection between the different regions of Italy. This design was only used on the Pattern 5 Lire coin and was not featured on any other Italian coins.
