Offered in this online estate auction is a 1927-R Italy 5 Lire silver coin, issued during the reign of King Vittorio Emanuele III and struck at the Rome Mint (R mintmark). This historic Italian silver coin features the iconic eagle perched on a fasces on the reverse, a powerful symbol of Italy’s Fascist-era imagery, while the obverse displays a portrait of the king.
Struck in .835 fine silver, the 5 Lire denomination is a classic and widely collected European world silver coin, valued for both its precious metal content and its strong historical significance. Coins from this period appeal to collectors of Italian coinage, WWII-era and pre-WWII European history, and world silver issues.
This example is housed in a protective coin holder. Surface wear, toning, and overall condition are consistent with circulation and age; please review all images carefully as they are part of the description.
A solid addition for collectors of Italy silver coins, historical European coinage, or those looking to build long-term value through vintage and historic coins.
