Silver Vittorio
Question on a 1914 silver Italian coin?
I was wondering what the value of a certain coin is. Here is a description of it: The “heads” side says “Vittorio Emanvelle III Re D’Italia” with a bust of a man with the name of the designer “D.Calandera” under him. The back shows what looks like a Roman holding some sort of branch on a chariot being pulled by 4 horses. On the chariot the word “FERT” is inscribed. The same word can be seen on the ring of the coin 3 times. The designers name can once again be seen under the date of 1914. Under the horses, “A mottino”, or something similar (printed in very small font), can be seen. At the very bottom you see it is L.5.
Any info would be good 
The 1914 Italian 5 Lire had a mintage of only 272,515 coins probably due to World War 1, and a genuine coin has a diameter of 37mm, weighs 25 grams, and contains 0.7234 troy ounces of silver which is currently worth $12.75US. The coin is worth $2,000US in F-12; $4,000US in VF-20; $7,500US in XF-40; and $10,000US if uncirculated. Vittorio Emanuele III was the king of Italy from 1900 thru 1946, and he is pictured on the obverse while “re d’Italia” means “King of Italy.” The four horse chariot is known as a quadriga. I believe “Mott Inc.” is the company for which D. Calandra works. Please check the links for much more information. I would highly recommend you take the coin to a local coin expert or two for an evaluation, and you might ask them about getting the coin certified and slabbed by one of the major third party grading services (NGC, PCGS, or ANACS). I hope that helps.
