20 Italian Lire Vittorio Emanuele II. Gold 1861-1878
It is no exaggeration to say that Vittorio Emanuele II of the House of Savoy played a crucial, if not the decisive, role in the creation of modern Italy. Together with his Prime Minister, Vittorio Emanuele led the Italian unification movement, successfully transforming the previously fragmented region of small states in the Mediterranean into the nation-state we have known as Italy since 1870.
