It was only issued at 5000 exemplaries in 1925, an important date for the sovereign. The obverse celebrates his silver jubilee, having acceded to the throne 25 years prior in 1900. The reverse commemorates the 10th anniversary of Italy's entry into the First World War. Its iconography is full of symbols. The iron crown depicted on the obverse was used as early as the Middle Ages to crown the kings of Italy, thus inscribing the king in a long line of sovereigns before him. On the reverse, the idea of Italy's heroism is evoked by a muscular young man, depicted in heroic nudity and a very dynamic stance. The flag and motto are attributes of Italy and the presence of the little winged Victory testify to the consequences of Italy's heroism.
