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.
