Italy 1953 5 lire rev DSLR.jpg

The specimen shown is from a type struck in Rome for Italy 1951-2000. It superseded a larger aluminum coin (KM 89) struck 1946-50 which is now quite scarce in nice condition. This date has the second highest mintage by a large margin but it still worth more in uncirculated than many later dates which were saved in greater quantity. The 1956 is very rare.

Recorded mintage: 196,200,000.

Specification: 1 g, aluminum, plain edge, 20.2 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 92, Gig-284.
