[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 27402, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum Vic. That's an interesting problem you have posed. :confused: The diameter and obverse are perfect matches for KM#14 (three varieties based on mintmarks), but that's a 2.5g, .900 silver 50 centesimi, which is certainly [b]not[/b] the coin in your picture! The reverse design (in various denominations - not including 10 L) appears on several coins, all mated with an obverse showing Umberto I, and dated in the 1880s and '90s. Check your local library and see if they have a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Gold, a companion to the regular Krause catalogs, that may have more detail about your gold coin. Based on the size, my guess is that it contains between 1/3 and 1/2 oz. AGW, so it's worth somewhere around $150-220 simply as bullion.[/QUOTE]
