Description
1882 Italy 20 Lira gold coin. Features Umberto I, the 2nd king of the unified Kingdom of Italy. Each coin measures 21mm diameter. The obverse of this coin features one of the most impressive moustaches to ever appear on a coin, courtesy of King Umberto I - the second king of Italy. Umberto was not a popular king, as his deep royalist views and his support of a massacre of street demonstrators did not endear him to the public. He was assassinated at age 56 while watching a gymnastics competition. The reverse side of the coin features the Italian coat of arms within an oak wreath, along with an "R" mintmark indicating the coin was minted in Rome.
