| Reverse description | Right-facing allegorical female bust representing Italia, her hair adorned with a fasces positioned to her left, the fasces bearing the Savoy shield and surmounted by an axe blade at its upper left. The denomination C. 20 appears in the lower field, flanked on the right by the date 1939 and on the left by the mint mark R and the Fascist Era year XVII. The word PROVA (trial/proof) is inscribed above the date, confirming the trial-strike status of this piece. The overall design is typical of the Fascist-period Italian coinage aesthetic supervised by Romagnoli. |
