Was this coin's obverse design used for more than 3 dates? (For this question I am considering the Pius XI Jubilee version of the 5 Lire to be a separate obverse design). I am hoping you agree TDZ because I am really not sure if it is or not.

Me too.

Lets cut the date down.

Was the coin made before Cavalcade won the Kentucky Derby?

Edit, changed horse.

I realized that, and changed the horse. We have it nailed anyways, guesses are next. I even have some time this weekend if I win to finally take a win for the Gamemasters.

You all are trying to narrow the date down the far. Like I said before that's no fun. Just guess.
My guess is 1937/XVI 5 Lire From Vatican Cite

Hmmm... If we consider the obverse design to be an old white guy wearing a beanie, the answer is yes.

If we consider the obverse design to be one specific monarch wearing a beanie the answer is no.

And ... the coin is not dated 1935, 1937 or 1939.
