I'll give you a couple of clues:

* 'L.' stands for 'Lire'
* The Roman numeral date translates as 1943

See if you can figure out the rest yourself?

​In addition it just happens to be a fake.
There was no official coin minted by italy with mussolini's head. These are just medallions made for collectors and for resale to the unknowing
