| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dynamic quadriga — a four-horse chariot driven at full gallop toward the left — dominates the central and left portions of the field, rendered in vigorous high relief. To the right stands a helmeted female figure representing Victory or Italia, draped in classical robes and raising a laurel branch in her right hand, beside a decorative altar bearing the Savoy motto FERT. The denomination L. 2 appears in the lower exergue between ornamental scroll devices, with the mint mark R and the date to the left of the horses. The engravers' signatures D. CALANDRA and A.S. MOTTI INC. are inscribed along the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Italy's 2 Lire silver coinage was already a diminishing presence in daily commerce by the time this issue ran — the outbreak of war in 1915 pushed silver coins out of circulation almost immediately, as hoarding became widespread and the government began relying on paper substitutes. The brief window between Italy's entry into World War I and the effective disappearance of silver from pockets means that most surviving examples saw little to no actual use.
The 1917 date is the scarcest of the run, with mintage dropping sharply as silver was redirected toward wartime needs.
