1 Euro (Italian)

The coin features Leonardo da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' in the center, surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union and the year of issue.

This coin represents Italy's contribution to the Eurozone currency. The 'Vitruvian Man' is a globally recognized symbol of art, science, and the Renaissance, celebrating human proportion and the intersection of art and mathematics. Its inclusion on the Italian 1 Euro coin highlights Italy's rich cultural heritage.

The face value is 1 Euro. For circulated coins, the numismatic value typically remains close to its face value, unless it's a rare minting error or an uncirculated specimen.

Handle the coin by its edges to prevent transferring oils from your skin, which can cause tarnishing. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or album to protect it from environmental damage and scratches. Avoid cleaning, as this can devalue the coin.
