Overview
A gold-colored coin featuring the equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius on the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union.
Historical significance
The 2002 issue marks the first year of circulation for the Euro currency in Italy, replacing the Italian Lira. The design pays homage to Rome's history and Renaissance architecture by showcasing the bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius on Michelangelo's star-shaped floor design.
Estimated value
€0.50 (Face value). Circulated examples are common and generally hold no additional numismatic premium unless in absolute mint condition or possessing a rare error.
Care & preservation
Store in a dry environment to avoid oxidation. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing tarnishing. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals as it can damage the coin's original surface luster.
