Italy 50th Anniversary of Unification Commemorative Silver Coin MS62
Vittorio Emanuele III (November 11, 1869 - December 28, 1947) was the third King of Italy from the House of Savoy (reigned: 1900 - 1946). Among Italian coins, there are many featuring his portrait. He was also a coin collector and researcher.
The obverse of this silver coin features a left-facing bust of Vittorio Emanuele III, with the names of two engravers (Domenico Trentacoste and Luigi Giorgi) inscribed below the neck. The edge of the coin is inscribed in Latin (VITTORIO EMANVELE III RE D'ITALIA D. TRENTACOSTE L. IORGI INC.). The reverse depicts two standing figures, with a female representing Italy and a male representing Rome. Italy places her left hand on a plow adorned with fruits, with a large merchant ship in the background. The denomination and mint mark (R: Rome) are located at the lower left.
