Additional Notes: Coins of this type/denomination are classed as emergency issues. These coins were mostly overstruck on the previous 20 Centesimi Coin due to nickel being in short supply.

This coin shows a partial imprint of the previous "20" design at almost 90 degrees to the current design. This is a great example of this type of coin and a commentary on the time.

Any coin gradings given above are in addition to the pictures. The pictures show you more detail than my words can tell you, so they are more important and the completing part of this description.

Please note that any customs fees and taxes are the to be paid by the buyer.
