| Aanvullende informatie |
Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy in March 1861, and the new kingdom needed coinage fast. The 20 Lire gold piece was the natural anchor — it fit directly within the Latin Monetary Union framework that France, Belgium, and Switzerland were formalizing, a deliberate political calculation by the Italian treasury to integrate with European commercial networks from the outset.
Turin's Regio Zecca struck the earliest pieces before production shifted progressively to Milan and Rome as those facilities came under unified Italian administration. The 1861-T mintmark issues from Turin are notably scarcer than later dates.
