I already have a 2 Lire coin of this type from 1915, but I put in a "throw away" bid on this nice 1916 example and ended up winning it. Given that it's only a 4-year type (1914, 1915, 1916, 1917), maybe I'll have to go for a complete 2 Lire set since I'm now 50% there. It has a nice little splash of color on the reverse.

Both coin and image are wonderful. Is the image taken by you? If yes, congrats, if not, congrats on your choice of photographer.
Glad to see that other members got the hang of this right away.

Hi Syracusian, thanks for the kind words. I have always taken my own images for coins I post here. On occasion, I'll use a CoinFacts or TrueView image when I post a coin until I receive the coin in hand. But, then I still always take my own images.

Haha, yes! I was very tempted to scrape it off before I photographed the label.
