Comment
Interesting fact
The 2 Euro circulating commemorative coin from Italy featuring Dante Alighieri, issued in 2015, has a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's outer ring is made of a copper-nickel alloy, while the inner core is made of nickel brass, giving it a distinctive bimetallic look. This design feature was incorporated to represent the dual nature of Dante's work, which blended both classical and vernacular elements to create a new literary style.
