Overview

Historical significance

This coin is part of the first series of Euro coins introduced by Italy, marking its transition from the Italian Lira to the Euro currency. The design, featuring Boccioni's iconic Futurist sculpture, reflects Italy's rich artistic heritage and its contribution to modern art. The introduction of the Euro represented a major step in European economic and political integration.

Estimated value

0.20 EUR to 1.00 EUR (depending on condition and specific mint errors, if any). Common circulating coins generally hold their face value.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can cause discoloration over time. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can reduce its numismatic value.
