Exist a lot of replikas.they are silver,have same weight and diameter.i have one in my collection but dont know its replika or real
Hi! Dear Alexius73,thanks for your reply but how we both would know if our coins are genuine or replicas,even made of silver?!? The original is quite low silver 600/1000.
Replika and real is silver.the weight is 20g and diameter is 35,5 and 2,2 thickness.
The real have value from 200+,the replika much lower.i dont know how find out is real or replika.wait maybe other member of this site know more.im very curious…
I dont like the cross-hatch scratch patterns on both side. I don't believe a coin like this would be treated like that in commerce.
It looks like deliberate antique distressing, as practiced by “antique” furniture sellers, to make modern stuff from Asia look old.

Please always give the link to the coin in the numista catalog.
Hi! Sorry,Sjoelund,you looked to the wrong coin in Numista catalogue: For the year 1928 there are 2 genuine types of minted italian coins,one is that you show and the other is mine (celebrating 10 years from the end of WWI).
Please give another search ‘’20 lire 1928 Italy'' on Numista catalogue and both types of the 1928 minted coins will appear! For sure!!! I verified this yesterday.
Regards!

A confirmation of my demand to always give the link of the coin, you now see, why it's needed?
I am quite new on NUMISTA and don't know how to do that(get the link & then share it with you). So,it's not a question of ‘’no goodwill''…

Go to Coins, click and you'll see Coin catalogue
Give Italy as issuer and the Add filter (type “5 lire” in Face value and “1928” in Gregorian date) hit Search
You now should have this on your screen:

Place the cursor on the link "5 Lire - Vittorio Emanuele III
1926-1935 " and click
Now you get this:

And the line on top is your link (N#4047) to this coin, you select and copy it and insert it in your message. N#4047
Easy, isn't it?
Thank you very much for your help,Sjoelund! Easy indeed but when you don't know how to do something everything is hard!
I come back to you,my friend Sjoelund,to tell that what you have kindly learned me to do (as to ''catch''& provide a link for a coin) doesn't work for my smartphone that I am only able to use for internet activities! I double-checked this and nothing of the screenshots you showed me appears to me! I then realised that you used a computer which has such a different display than mine.
If you know how to manage for that purpose an Android smartphone?….
Your OS has not much to do with that, it depends on the browser you are using. Your address bar on your phone is most often on the top but some have it on the bottom.
You can also post the Numista number if everything else fails.

Ok,good idea with the Numista numbers! Thanks again! This will surelly work.
Thanks,Stefan205!
Hi, it is hard to know at first sight because someone made a bad cleaning, but a couple of details suggest this is a real coin. Is it possible to see the edge and to have pictures taken from the perpendicular?
Hello,cobrapel! Thanks for your reply and interest on my topic but I closed the debate because I am not in possesion of the coin. So,unfortunately,I cannot provide more/other photos of this coin.
