Obverse: Features a classical Female Head facing left, representing the Italian Republic. She is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The inscription REPVBBLICA ITALIANA follows the rim, with the artist's name ROMAGNOLI at the base of the neck. Reverse: Features the Roman goddess Minerva (goddess of wisdom and war) standing next to a young olive tree. She holds a long spear in her left hand and reaches toward the tree with her right. The denomination L.100 is to the left of the goddess, and the R mint mark (Rome) is to the right. The date 1959 is at the bottom. The 1959 Italy 100 Lire is one of the most iconic issues of the post-war Italian Republic. Like the 50 Lire of the same era (offered in Lot #584), it was struck in Acmonital (stainless steel), giving it a distinctive bright, cold luster that has remained remarkably preserved even decades after circulation. Its size, weight and beauty made it one of the most recognizable coins in Europe at the time. Dimensions: Acmonital (Stainless Steel). 27.8 mm. 8 g. Pickup category timeslot {A}
