Overview

The obverse features two ears of wheat pointing upward and to the right with the numeral '10' prominently displayed. The reverse (not pictured) typically shows a plough with the inscription 'REPUBBLICA ITALIANA'.

Historical significance

Introduced after WWII, this coin was part of the first series of the new Italian Republic. It remained in circulation until Italy adopted the Euro in 2002, becoming a nostalgic symbol of Italy's post-war era.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $2.00 USD (Commonly circulated pieces have very low value; rare early years in mint condition can reach $5-$20)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with chemicals or abrasives as aluminum is a soft metal that scratches easily and develops a dull patina naturally.
