The 1925-R Italy 50 Centesimi was issued by the Kingdom of Italy during the reign of King Victor Emmanuel III (1900–1946), one of the most famous monarchs associated with Italian numismatic history. Victor Emmanuel III was not only king but also an accomplished coin collector and numismatist who contributed greatly to the study of Italian coinage.
This bronze-aluminum 50 Centesimi features the classic early 20th-century Italian design, representing the transition of Italy into the modern industrial era. The coin was struck at the Rome Mint (R) and carries the distinctive plain edge characteristic of this issue.
