Italian Silver Coin

[SilverDreams]

A friend of mine from work found this coin around his church. Can anyone help identify it? The front says "Vittorio Emanvele III RE D'tali." The back has an eagle and I can make out a "5" at the bottom and what looks like "1927" for the date when zoomed in under a microscope. Any information would be appreciated. I would also like to know silver content.
