Italy 500 Lire 1982-2001 Uncirculated

Between 1982 and 2001 Italy had a rather unique 500 lire coin in circulation. It was the first to have the value written in Braille on the reverse. The coin features the traditional woman’s head symbolizing the Italian Republic, as well as the Quirinale Palace on the reverse. Built in 1583, the palace has been home to 30 popes, 4 kings of Italy, and 12 Presidents of the Republic to date. We are offering the coins in Uncirculated condition.
