This type was struck for the kingdom of Italy 1901-07. The weight and fineness matches that of a French franc. This denomination was struck to this standard until 1917, when the stress of wartime inflation forced the government to suspend production. When mintage of the lira resumed in 1922, it was a nickel coin. Vittorio Emanuele III succeeded his father Umberto upon the latter's assassination in 1900.
Recorded mintage: 4,665,000.
Specification: 5 g, 0.835 fine silver, .134 troy oz ASW.
