20 Centesimi coin from the Kingdom of Italy, dated 1918, featuring King Vittorio Emanuele III.
Key details about this coin:
Ruler: Vittorio Emanuele III (reigned 1900-1946).
Country and Era: Kingdom of Italy, issued between 1918 and 1920.
Composition: Made of copper-nickel.
Historical Context: These are "emergency coins" minted during World War I due to a nickel shortage. Many were overstruck on older 20 Centesimi coins (KM# 28) to conserve the metal.
Design:
Obverse: A crowned Savoia Shield is displayed, flanked by twisted branches of laurel and oak. "REGNO D'ITALIA" (Kingdom of Italy) is above, with the engraver's initials below.
Reverse: The value "CENT. 20" and the date "1918" are featured within a hexagonal frame, encircled by a laurel wreath and the "R" mintmark for Rome below the date.
Edge: The edge can be plain or show traces of reeding from the overstruck older coins. Visible traces of the previous coin's design can make these coins more valuable to collectors.
