    all the coins that I have seen say on it
    Obverse ITALIA LIBERA DIO LO VOULE WITH .mint mark Is M.
    reverse 5 LIRE ITALIANE 1848 GOVERNO PROVISORIO DI LOMBARDIA.

    on my coin the mint mark is M but the rest doesn't match at all.

    I will be glad to hear from you ,history and value.

    This is a souvenir or novelty piece modeled on the revolutionary 5 lire with imaginary legends. As often as this coin pops up in "whatzit" threads, I still haven't seen anyone with much more info on it beyond that. Definitely modern, likely from the 70s, worth maybe 5-10 bucks as a novelty.

    Surprisingly this isn't in the Unusual World Coins book yet...
