1911-R Italy Gold 50 Lire Emanuele III BU Details (Cleaned)
In 1911, the Rome mint produced a magnificent gold coin to mark a significant era in Italian history. Struck in 0.900 fine gold with a precious metal content of 0.4667 troy ounces, this 50 Lire coin stands as a testament to the exquisite engraving standards of early twentieth-century Europe. The obverse of the coin displays a detailed portrait of King Vittorio Emanuele III, facing left. The surrounding inscriptions, including EMANVELE III RE D'ITALIA, identify the monarch of the kingdom. On the reverse, a beautifully rendered classical couple stands together, symbolizing a unified spirit. This side also bears the dual dates of 1861 to 1911, marking a half-century milestone, alongside the face value of L. 50 and the R mintmark, which indicates its origin from the historic mint in Rome.
