Struck to the same size and weight as the Swiss 20 Francs Vreneli and the French 20 Francs Rooster, Italy's classic 20 Lire gold coin is much more difficult to find than its European counterparts. Originally minted between 1879 and 1897, most 20 Lire gold coins were later officially melted to help Italy recover from the world wars that engulfed Europe. The obverse features Umberto (Edward) I, who came to be known as "Umberto the Good" by his supporters. These 90% fine gold coins are better than "good." They're great—and they're in Brilliant Uncirculated condition! Dates vary.
