Murasama Valued Member Spain 95 Posts	Posted 01/21/2024 10:11 am I would like to show you this new addition to my collection...it is 20 Liras from the reign of Vittorio Emmanuel in Italy, it is from 1928 commemorating the end of the First World War, named "Capellone" or "Elmetto". It has a size of 35.5 and a weight of 20 grams of 600 silver. It has a beautiful design on both sides, however Vittorio Emanuele was a renowned numismatist...The helmet, along with that of the Balboa of Panama, is the best placed that I have seen on a coin taking advantage of almost the entire half of the field. If you are used to seeing Vittorio without a helmet, this coin impresses. I also have the reverse, the magnified fascio, and the legend "it is better to live one day as a lion than one hundred years as a sheep", breaks everything!! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and I had to get her. Edited by Murasama 01/21/2024 10:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
