| Obverse description | Uniformed bust of Victor Emmanuel III facing left, wearing a military collar with decorations visible at the neck. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail, including a short moustache and closely cropped hair. The circular legend around the periphery reads VITTORIO EMANUELE III RE D'ITALIA, and the word PROVA appears in the right field, identifying this as a pattern or trial strike. |
