Beck's Public Baths; Nude woman bathing. Quite risqué for the time - 1832-1844

 

1936 Italy 5 Lire

This is a 1936 Italy 5 Lire. I purchased it this last weekend from Tony Hansen.

 

That's a real killer coin, what's the reverse look like?

 

The other side of the coin has Victor Emmanual III (Vittorio Emanuele III). I don't know why the we change the spelling of the man's name for USA English :rollling: I guess it's no different than when we changed the names of Europen cities (like Milano to Milan & Wein to Vienna etc).

Here is the thread where I hope to post other coins from the reign of Emperor Vittorio Emanuele III:

With city names (and other geographical names) that is pretty common, and it even says something about the relevance of a place. Wien was/is an important city for many, so it's Vienna in English, Wenen in Dutch, Bécs in Hungarian, etc. Why this is also (sometimes) done with the names of kings written in the same script, I don't know ...
