| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised anthropomorphic sun with a human face occupies the centre of the field, surrounded by radiating triangular rays interspersed with decorative architectural and symbolic motifs arranged in a circular band. At the base, a small kneeling or crouching figure supports the solar composition. The legend ITALIA is distributed vertically between the rays around the circumference, with individual letters separated by star-shaped ornaments. The overall design is rendered in a highly decorative, fantasy artistic style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Marengo Sirmione was a privately issued trade token produced by the Stabilimento Idrotermale di Sirmione, a spa resort on Lake Garda, circulating as a local medium of exchange within the establishment's facilities during a period when Italian small-denomination coinage was notoriously scarce. Italy's chronic coin shortage of the 1970s drove businesses across the country to issue their own substitute currency — telephone tokens, candy, and proprietary metal pieces all served where lire could not.
The name references the Marengo, the old Napoleonic-era gold coin, though this piece carries no official monetary status whatsoever.
