The Yamato-class battleships, two vessels completed for the Imperial Japanese Navy, were the largest such warships ever built. They displaced 72,000 tons fully loaded, were 863 feet long and 121 feet wide, and could travel at a speed of up to 27 knots (31 mph). The battleships, named Yamato and Musashi, also had the biggest guns and thickest armor. Their main armament consisted of nine 18.1 inch guns, which could throw a 3,219 pound shell a distance of 26 miles. The main gun turrets, which contained the heaviest armor on the ship, were protected by steel 25.6 inches thick. They were a formidable opponent for any other surface warship afloat.

Why is the Italian 1911 50 Lire Gold Battleship coin so hard to locate?
My guess as this celebrate both the fiftieth anniversary of the Kingdom of Italy- and the golden anniversary of the Royal Italian Navy- hence the Battleship theme- they were grabbed up by seamen, Naval officers and vets, and kept in the family much like such heirlooms as war medals or campaign decorations. They circulated widely among the Navy men, and were probably given out or sold at a slight premium on Veteran"s days ( I know that holiday did not exist in l9ll but Naval Patriot"s day) or something like that did) I have only seen the elusive Four Stack Battleship coin in catalogues such as the Yeoman books. I have never seen one in a coin store! No they did not voyage into the Bermuda Triangle- just rare and closely guarded. No US Gold piece ever depicted a battleship or other war vessel to my knowlegde- Columbus ship on the Columbian Half dollar but not on Gold coins. it"s a rarity, and they seldom surface, no pun intended. Even rarer is the l907 Prova commemorating the allegedly lost and secretive PROVA ( proof, Test) Expedition. These were made in 50 Lire and l00 Lire sizes the latter being larger than a US $20 St.Gaudens- who was a sculptor and not a Holy Man! by the way.
