| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Victor Emmanuel III in military uniform, facing left, with a star-decorated collar visible at the truncation. The engraver's signature GIORGI appears at the bottom of the field. The circular legend VITTORIO·EMANVELE·III·RE·D'ITALIA runs along the periphery, interrupted at the base by a small crowned heraldic device. The word PROVA is incused in the right field, identifying this piece as a pattern strike. The rim is ornamented with a continuous beaded border. |
