Description
A collection of 15 circular metallic coins, predominantly originating from Italy. The coinage spans the Kingdom of Italy period, with visible dates from 1861 to 1939, including issues pertaining to its colonial territories (e.g., «LIBIA ITALIANA» – Italian Libya), and extending into the Fascist era (indicated by «1939 XVII»). Compositions vary, exhibiting silver-tone, bronze-tone, and brass-tone patinas. Denominations identified include Centesimi (10, 20, 50) and Lire, with some specifically marked «BUONO DA LIRE» or «POSTE ITALIANE». Designs feature portraits of Italian monarchs (Victor Emmanuel II, Umberto I, Victor Emmanuel III, whose title «RE D’ITALIA E DI ALBANIA IMPERATORE D’ETIOPIA»), allegorical figures representing Italia, national symbols like fasces and the Savoyard shield, alongside various agricultural and nationalistic motifs.
