The 20 Lire Gold Italian Coins issued by the Kingdom of Italy were predecessors to the denominations of the Sardinian lira. The Kingdom of Italy was formed as a unified kingdom on the Italian peninsula by Victor Emmanuel II in 1861. Previously, he had served as the King of Sardinia before leading the movement to unify the kingdoms of the region.
