Interesting fact
The 50 Centesimi coin from Italy, featuring Victor Emmanuel III, was designed by Italian sculptor and engraver, Luigi Giorgi. He was a prominent artist during the early 20th century and is known for his work on various coins, medals, and banknotes. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the Italian coat of arms on the other, surrounded by an ornate border. The use of nickel in the coin's composition was a common practice during that time period, as it was a durable and affordable material. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its historical significance but also for its aesthetic appeal.
