Victor Manuel III (1900-1946) Coin List
The reign of Victor Emmanuel III in Italy, which lasted from 1900 to 1946, was a period of great political and economic change. During these decades, Italy underwent significant transformations that were reflected in its monetary system and in the coins minted under the king's rule.
Historical and political context
Victor Emmanuel III ascended the throne in 1900, inheriting a country in the throes of transformation. During his reign, Italy participated in two world wars and experienced the rise and fall of fascism under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. These events had a profound impact on the Italian economy and thus on its monetary system. The king, known for his interest in numismatics, personally oversaw many aspects of coinage during his reign, resulting in a number of numismatic issues of great historical and collector interest.
Coins from the reign of Victor Emmanuel III
Coins minted during the reign of Victor Emmanuel III reflect the political and economic changes of the time. The Italian lira remained the main monetary unit, but its value and composition varied over the years. Among the most notable issues were the 1 and 2 lira silver coins, which bore the portrait of the king and were minted until the 1920s. During the Fascist period, new designs were introduced incorporating symbols of the regime, such as the fascio littorio. In addition, the scarcity of precious metals during the wars led to the minting of coins in alternative materials, such as stainless steel and aluminum. The series of coins known as "Impero," issued in the 1930s, is particularly prized by collectors for its art deco design and historical significance.
