Description from the seller

Italy - 2 Lire 1939 (XVII E.F.) - Vittorio Emanuele III - Non-compliant blank error

Authentic 2 Lire coin in Italma (an alloy of aluminum and magnesium), minted in 1939 at the Rome Mint (mark R).

The obverse shows the profile of Vittorio Emanuele III with the legend 'VITT • EM • III • RE • E • IMP •', while the reverse depicts an eagle with outstretched wings over a fasces, with the word 'ITALIA' at the top.

Features: a coin with an evident die misalignment on the obverse and reverse, which has led to a slight decentering of the legend and the edge, making it an atypical and interesting piece for collectors of variants and minting flaws.

Year: 1939 (17th E.F.)
- Metal: Italma (Aluminum and Magnesium)
- Weight: approx. 5 g
- Diameter: 24 mm
Border: smooth

Obvious centering defect, smooth edge instead of serrated.
