In all seriousness, slap a Liberty and a USA on their and I'd LOVE it. being 1917 it is pre mussolini as he came to power in the 20's but still used victor emanuelle on the obverse of the coins for quite a while. early 20th century italian coins can be stunning.

ikaros Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was at a local table top show today and came across it. It doesn't fit into my collecting themes but I just had to buy it. Italy 1917 2 lire Wow, I'd be hard pressed to have passed on that, too -- and it doesn't fit any of my themes either. What a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
