<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 37171, member: 669&quot;]Welcome aboard our new friend.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That doesn&#039;t compute.&nbsp; The reign of Mussolini&#039;s puppet King Victor Emanual III ended with the defeat of the Axis Powers in World War II, and the proclamation of the Republic of Italy, so his bust would not have appeared on a 1959 lira.&nbsp; The 1943 stainless steel lira was the last to have his bust, and the aluminum 1959 lira had scales on the obverse and a large &quot;1&quot; on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were a few lira issues with his bust facing left and a few with eagle reverses, but the only coin with that combination is KM#77/77a/77b, bearing Roman numeral dates XIV-XXI (1936-43) in nickle, non-magnetic stainless steel, and magnetic stainless steel.</p><p><br /></p><p>I second webcat5&#039;s motion.&nbsp; Please post a picture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
