Description
20 Centesimi from Italy. Issued from 1918 to 1920. Struck in Copper-nickel. Measures 21.3 mm and weighs 3.9 g.
- Obverse
- Crowned Savoia Shield between twisted branches of laurel and oak, the issuer name above, and the engraver's initials below (Kingdom of Italy A.M.)
- Reverse
- Value and date of the coin within a hexagon surrounded by a laurel wreath and the mintmark below the date
- Edge
- Plain or reeded, the image shows both edge types. Plain-edged planchets are slightly thinner. NOTE: For this type of coin the edge must be smooth, but sometimes traces of reeding are visible. The reeded edge is a mark of the previous coins km# 28 exactly as the traces of prevoius coin in the obverse or reverse. The more these marks are visible the more the coin worths. Coins perfectly reeded are very rare
