Kings of Italy - Umberto I

King Umberto I reigned as the King of Italy from 9 January 1878 until his death by assassination on 29 July 1900. The king descended from one of the oldest royal families in the world, the House of Savoy.

Italian Lira

Italy issued 20 lire gold coins from 1861 to 1927. These coins are known as marenghi, the singular of which is marengo.

This is sold as a bullion coin at a low premium above the gold spot price, the finish is uncirculated - this is not the grade. We sell graded Italian 20 Lire in a variety of years in different grades.

Obverse

The obverse bears a left facing portrait of King Umberto I by Filippo Speranza, chief engraver at the Roman mint. The engraver's name is in the truncated neck. The coin bears the inscription:

UMBERTO I RE D'ITALIA

Reverse

Designed by Filippo Speranza, the reverse bears the crowned Savoy shield of arms decorated with the Collare dell'Annunziata (Collar of the Supreme Order of the Most Holy Annunziata, the highest honour in the House of Savoia). This is encompassed by a wreath of a branch of laurel to the left and oak to the right. The value is split on either side of the shield, L for Lire and 20. The design is topped by the Star of Italy. The R mint mark for the Roman mint is below the wreath to the left.
