| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1914 5 Lire proof strike belongs to a period when the Italian mint was actively testing revised designs under Victor Emmanuel III, who had already prompted significant numismatic activity since his accession in 1900. "Prova di Stampa" designates an official trial piece — not a pattern in the exploratory sense, but a production-authorization strike, made in limited numbers to verify die quality and striking characteristics before a formal issue was approved or rejected.
This particular type was never released for circulation. The design was shelved as Italy moved toward the financial pressures of impending war, and silver coinage of this size effectively ceased to function as a practical monetary instrument within a few years of this strike.
