Love this coin, because you can hold history in your hand. Italy used the lire as a part of its currency from 1861 until 2002, when it was effectively replaced by the Euro and ceased to be legal tender. The name lire comes from the Latin word “libra,” which refers to the value of a pound of high purity silver. The 500 lire contains 83.5 percent silver, remaining true to its name. Coin collectors can love to own this piece of history. The 1961 Italian 500 lire was minted in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Italian Unification, the political and social movement that united the different states of the Italian peninsula into a single state known as the Kingdom of Italy. Upon completion of the process of the Italian Unification, Rome became the kingdom’s capital. The 1961 Italian 500 lire coins are 29.3mm in diameter, with a 2mm thickness.
Pendant comes with 70 cm ball chain.
Great for a gift :)
