Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Lire - Vittoria Emanuele III (Pattern) 1907 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 King Victor Emmanuel III on the obverse side, and the Italian coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1907 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of gold (.900) and weighs 16.2 grams.
