1940 Italy Mussolini "Il Duce" 1 Lira BU (w/Box & COA)
This 1940 issue from Italy represents a compelling moment in mid twentieth century coinage, notable for its composition and striking imagery. Struck in stainless steel, a durable and highly reflective metal, this 1 Lira coin has survived in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving its original luster and sharp details just as it looked when it left the mint. The obverse of the coin features a left-facing portrait of Victor Emmanuel III. On the reverse, a powerful eagle with its wings fully spread dominates the design, positioned directly above the denomination of 1 Lira and the 1940 date. This combination of classical portraiture and bold, symbolic imagery makes the coin a fascinating object of study for those interested in the design choices of the era.
