Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Lire - Victor Emmanuel III (Pattern) ND (1900) from Italy made of Tin is that it was designed by the Italian sculptor and engraver, Giuseppe Romagnoli. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Victor Emmanuel III on the obverse and the Italian coat of arms on the reverse. The use of tin as the material for this coin was also a unique choice, as most coins of its time were made of more traditional metals like gold, silver, or copper.
