<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1446497, member: 15445&quot;]Emperor Vittorio Emanuele III was the King of Italy from 1900 to 1946.&nbsp; He was the only son of the Italian King Umberto I.&nbsp;&nbsp; In 1900, Vittorio Emanuele III was 30 years old when his father Umberto was assassinated.&nbsp; During Vittorio’s subsequent 46 year reign, the Kingdom of Italy was involved in two World Wars. Also, his reign encompassed the rise and fall of Italian Fascism.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These two NEWPs were issued during Vittorio Emanuele’s reign.&nbsp; IMO the coins include really awesome reverse designs.&nbsp; The 1927 10 Lire coin depicts a biga (2-horse chariot) driven by a nice lady holding a fasces.&nbsp; The 1936 5 Lire depicts another nice lady with four children.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy these coins as much as I do. If you have other coins from Vittorio Emanuele’s reign, please post them here.&nbsp; I’ve got some more in my collection &amp; will snap some photos tonight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
