Composition and Design: It is composed of aluminum-bronze and features a design by Giuseppe Romagnoli. The reverse displays the value, the year in both Gregorian and Fascist calendars, along with a prominent Fascist fasces (a bundle of rods with an axe) and an ear of wheat.
Historical Context: This coin was part of a series minted from 1939 to 1943, following the 1936 issue, and its composition changed from copper to aluminum-bronze due to the need for copper during World War II.
