Comment
In coins with date 1946 there are some small differences: first the value is a little bit thicker, more the "4" in date and the mintmark are different in style.Interesting fact
The 1 Lira coin from Italy, minted between 1946 and 1950, was made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight metal. This made it easier to produce and handle, especially during a time when many countries were still recovering from the economic impact of World War II. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation during its time.
