That is a lovely example. Excellent photo detail and focus, although the colour is a little off.

I believe this is a KM75a (Plain edge?) and as such is stainless steel.

Much better than my own one!

Believe it or not, I once pulled a few BU examples of this type of coin out of some nickel rolls. Great looking coins.

Coin details are nice, but the color is not real, this is a steel coin and I never seen one of this coin w/ this color here in Italy.
here some pictures about this coin real color http://mycoins.altervista.org/Italy...0XVIIIan.jpg

This coin bears some gilding, it is not the genuine coin intended for circulation. Perhaps a fascist jeweller have had some inspiration?

It could just be the lighting, or the photoeditor!

That would be my assumption.

I think it was the flash .I just looked at the coin and it doesn't reflect the same color as the photo does..
