Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/28/2006 8:22 pm On the obverse of your coin is Victor Emanuele III. If you want a little history, he was Italy's first king and was responsible for a unified Italy. Up until the reign of Victor Emanuele Italy was broken up into various city states. In Rome there is a monument that is often referred to as the wedding cake or the typewriter cause of the way it looks, it is dedicated to Victor Emanuele. I have seen it in person and it is a out of place in such an ancient city. The Italians look up to Victor Emanuele the same way we would look up to George Washington. Just a little history on the man who occupies the obverse of your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
