    Diameter right on, have yet to weigh it. Judging by ring, it is most certainly silver. Might send it to NGC.

    Here's an obverse for a certified 5 Lire from 1891. Something I notice are differences in the rims/denticles.

    Modern copy Yarb0, sorry. The reason that much of the rim and dentils are missing is because it was made from a transfer die. The outermost parts of the design are often lost in that process.
