| Obverse description | Left-facing bare-headed effigy of King Vittorio Emanuele III, rendered in high relief in a naturalistic sculptural style. The truncation of the neck bears the engraver's signature D. TRENTACOSTE, with L. GIORGI INC. appearing as an additional credit to the die engraver. The legend encircling the portrait identifies the monarch and his title as King of Italy. The portrait is notably bold and finely modelled, characteristic of Italian commemorative coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | Two allegorical standing figures occupy the central field: a female personification of Italy, at left, rests her hand upon a plow adorned with sheaves of grain and fruits, symbolising agricultural prosperity; a male figure personifying Rome stands at right. A large ocean-going merchant vessel is depicted in the background, evoking maritime commerce and national progress. The commemorative date range 1861-1911, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Kingdom of Italy, appears prominently in the upper field, while the denomination C. 10 and the Rome mint mark R are placed in the lower right. The composition celebrates five decades of unified Italian statehood. |
