alexc New Member Romania 2 Posts	Posted 06/26/2016 3:00 pm Hi , I' ve recently bought a 20 lire Vittore Emanuele 3 1928 coin from a flea market and I don't know if this coin is real or just a fake. The weight is 20.13 g ,the diammeter 35 mm ,the edge is redeed . I suspect that it is fake because the weight is not 20 as it should be but 20.13 and because the letters from the right of the obverse are not clear.(I cannot see the letters .A.MOTTI.INC ,just some points) I've uploaded some pictures below. Can some help me please to know if this is a real coin or a fake and if yes what is the value? Thanks a lot! Alex Report this Post to the Staff

Problems with the ear detail, hair detail, as well as nose where it joins the moustache area. Also on the reverse the bundle with Roman numerals on it is wrong. I am sorry. This is a highly counterfeited coin for many years. Best of luck. Report this Post to the Staff

It's one of those pieces that I don't think was really intended as pass as fake money/silver... but more as a memento token. There's also the related fantasy piece that swaps out that coin geek Vitt. Em. III for Il Duce. Edited by realeswatcher 07/01/2016 02:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
