agandau Valued Member Australia 193 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 05:12 am It would appear a fantasy piece as Mussolini did not appear on any coins. You may have already looked up Krause and found this information. The reverse is the same as the 1928 KM#70 20L. 20.0 g. 35mm, but the obverse is simple a helmeted soldier, and that coin was struck to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the end of WWI. Further, there is stated; Note: Similar 20 and 100 Lire pieces were struck in gold. Silver and silvered brass items are modern fantasies. So possibly you have found another variation of the fantasy type. Report this Post to the Staff
