100 Lire - Victor Emmanuel III

Italy's 100 Lire gold coin was revived under Victor Emmanuel III after a long dormancy in large-denomination gold production, with the series beginning in 1910. Mintages were modest throughout — the 1910 date in particular was struck in very limited numbers — and the coins saw little genuine commerce, functioning more as high-value reserve instruments than pocket money.

Production effectively ceased during World War I and resumed only sporadically through 1927, when Italy's monetary pressures under the early Fascist government were redirecting metal policy entirely.
