Comment

The Europe Star Programme is a voluntary, common initiative of the issuing authorities of EU member countries. Since 2004, many countries have participated in the programme, issuing legal tender coins in precious metals, dedicated to a common subject that celebrates European identity.

Cast-iron architecture flourished in Europe between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, especially in France, England and Italy, where the most representative building is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
The Gallery, designed in Neo-Renaissance style by architect Giuseppe Mengoni, strikes a perfect balance between the modern cast-iron and glass roof and the precious, refined decorations.

Interesting fact

The Cast-iron Architectures 10 Euro coin from Italy features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and culture. The coin's obverse side features a cast-iron latticework design that is inspired by the iconic ironwork found in many Italian cities, particularly in the north. This design element not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also serves as a symbol of Italy's industrial and technological advancements during the 19th and 20th centuries.
