Comments: Obverse features crowned standing female figure with spear.  Reverse features denomination within wreath.  This is a one year mintage coin of the revolutionary provisional government.   Catalogued as the short stems variety.  I have been wanting to add an Italian crown to my collection for a while but the 20th century stuff is extremely expensive.  A bit of an obscure coin but was glad to pick it up recently.
