These are the 5 rare coins of the old coinage that are worth a fortune

We at the editorial staff of ProiezionidiBorsa have on several occasions found ourselves talking about which coins are the rarest and most coveted by collectors.

For example, for numismatics enthusiasts we have written that many want these 50 euro cents even if they are very rare to find.

But we also focused on coins belonging to the old lira which has not been in circulation since 2002.

Many people, in fact, have kept a memory with them perhaps preserved in the old salvadanai. Something to be handed down to future generations and which today could however be worth much more than one imagines.

For this reason it is right to make an overview of the lire that are most sought after for their current value. So here are the 5 rare coins of the old coinage that are worth a fortune.

The 10 lire of 1947

Let’s start with a real rarity: the 10 lire coin from 1947. Its value is around 5,000 euros and only 12,000 pieces have been issued.

It must also be a Fior di Conio (FDC) or practically just out of the mint.

That is, it must have been used very little and hardly ever circulated. It can be recognized because on one side there is an olive branch and on the other side a winged Pegasus.

The other coin of great value belonging to the old coinage is the 500 lire of 1957, this too must be Fior di Conio.

Its value is the highest among the 5 coins we are describing because it can be worth up to 13,000 euros. It is recognized by the reproduction of the three caravels on one side of the coin.

For further information on this coin we recommend reading this article.

Then we have the 1 lira coin from 1946 which can have a value of up to 2,000 euros, always if it is Fior di Conio.

We refer to those that have the inscription “PROVA” engraved of which only 80 have been released. It is also known as the lyre with the orange for what is depicted on its side.

The 2 lire of 1946 and 1953

The last two are the 2 lire of 1946 and 1953. If both are Fior di Conio they can be worth up to 1,500 euros.

If this is not the case, the first drops to around € 1,000 while the second drops to € 500.

For the 1946 coin, these values ​​are also referable here only to those produced with the wording “PROVA” because only a few copies have been issued.
