Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Lire - Victor Emmanuel III (Pattern) 1904 from Italy 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 side, while the reverse side depicts the crowned arms of the House of Savoy. The coin was minted in 1904 as a pattern piece, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of gold-plated copper and weighs 9.26 grams.
