Sexy Italian Dude (L5, 1927)
Lately I have been getting more and more silver coins from Italy and today's piece is one of those.
A 5 Lire from 1927, featuring a sexy old dude on the front...
And a bad ass eagle on the back!
In case you wonder, the dude is Vittorio Emanuele III, King of Italy, who ruled from 1900 to 1946. Not a great time to rule, considering Italy got involved in two world wars and joined the axis forces. At least the guy seemed to have some brains and even advised Mussolini against going to war in 1939. Mussolini being a prick and everything had a different opinion and we all know how that went 😅
Now, there's two interesting facts I found out about him after checking him up.
The first is his height. Poor fella was almost a midget. and one of his nickname was Sciaboletta ("little saber") due to his height of just 1.53 m, lel.
And the other, is that he was one hell of a stacker. Too bad he is dead or he could make some great posts here on #silvergoldstackers 😂
Victor Emmanuel III was one of the most prolific coin collectors of all time, having amassed approximately 100,000 specimens dating from the fall of the Roman Empire up to the Unification of Italy and in 1897 becoming honorary president of the new Italian Numismatic Society, of which he was a founding member. On his abdication, the collection was donated to the Italian people, except for the coins of the House of Savoy which he took with him to Egypt. source
With a diameter of 23 mm, this coin has about the same size of a modern euro
5 grams of 0.835 purity. Sure, not much but probably more than enough to buy me a couple beers if (or more like when) the modern financial system breaks 🍻🍻🍻
And that concludes today's post. Next silver piece is gonna be something hand poured as required by @welshstacker 's latest challenge. Check it out, maybe you will have something great to share!
Stack on plebs!

I find the topic quite interesting. Your coins reminded me that I have kept a coin that appears to be collectible, a 1964 dollar cent. The thing is I am not a collector, I have five or six and that's it, I have no idea who is looking for it, but they say it is valuable.
You can check your coins on numista and find out!
Damn! If he wasn't a king he never would have got laid!
BAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAH
Ah that's a good one. Eagle Wings is something classy!
A king used to be Stacker back then is now in your stack...
Could be in beneficiary of this post 🤣.
Wow, these are quality coins! I particularly like the France 5 francs coin in the first photo with the woman carrying a pot !
She a hot strong babe that's for sure!
Good to know history attach with coins. Such a great collection.
I liked the eagles and eagle-like beings.
Eagles are always sexy friend!
Great
The eagle isn't as nice as those german eagles, but still a nicely designed coin. Too bad for that dude that he was so short. Then again, I'm Sicilian... I know all about being short.
Maybe he had a big 🍌!
Little saber, big Italian sausage! 👨
😂
Keep it up so you have a solid foundation.
Solid foundation of what sir?
Of wealth
I thought of sexy old dudes 🫠
Good luck with that….🐑
100k collection, dang. Just countings those is a full time job. I guess king Victor needed a good distraction with all the shit going around.
😂😂😂🥳
Glad to see your Collection is getting increase day by day and also on a rapid pace ;)
Are all of them actually mostly oure silver?
Anything with an eagle on it looks mighty😂🦅🦅
Those in these photos, yes!
Your collection is great and amazing and glad to know about this history of all these coins. Thanks for sharing.
The coins are so nice especially the sexy eagles.
Yeah, eagles are always welcome 🦅
Five Grams of 0.835 Silver... Their Coinage was just as Confusing as ours, here in the States... I think the Central Bank Owners motto is to "Keep them Confused"...lol...
Lol! I don't care much about those technicalities, just collecting shiny if ever shit hits the fan 😂
If the shit hit the fan, would you prefer to have a Lump of Shiny Silver or a Sovereign Minted Silver Coin showing its Weight and Face Value...???
A short king with a long stash...
The world is full of ironies 😂😂
Lel 😂
It sounds like he picked a bad time to be king. Getting stuck in 2 world wars while in charge must have been stressful.
Yeah 😂😂😂 at least he tried to stay in the good side!
I hope you can buy yourself a couple of beers if the system collapse. Enjoy adding them to your personal collection.
