Issued to mark the first anniversary of Mussolini's March on Rome in October 1922, this coin was authorized as the Fascist regime was still consolidating power — the Acerbo Law, which effectively guaranteed Fascist electoral dominance, wouldn't pass until July 1923. The mintage was deliberately limited, functioning more as a political artifact than a circulating coin.
KM#64 is one of the scarcer interwar Italian gold issues, with surviving examples frequently found in near-uncirculated condition precisely because so few entered commerce.
