| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Victor Emmanuel III facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and strong facial features. The circular legend reads VITTORIO·EMANVELE·III·RE·D'ITALIA, separated by raised dots, surrounding the portrait. The engravers' signatures G. ROMAGNOLI and A. MOTTI INC. appear in small lettering at the base of the bust near the lower rim. The portrait is bold and naturalistic, characteristic of the medallic style favored during the Fascist era in Italy. The field surrounding the effigy is flat and unadorned. |
