A highly desirable pattern issue struck in bronze, featuring a beautifully depicted allegorical scene on the reverse, and the stately bust of Vittorio Emanuele III on the obverse. Evenly patinated in a rich mahogany, with hints of copper that decorate the legends and bold renderings due in part to an exacting strike.
