Interesting fact
The 2 Lire coin from Italy was designed by Italian sculptor and engraver, Giuseppe Romagnoli, in 1953. The coin features the profile of a young woman, representing Italy, on the obverse side, and the value of the coin, "2 Lire," on the reverse side. The coin was minted from 1953 to 2001 and was made of aluminum, with a small percentage of magnesium and manganese. It weighs 0.8 grams and has a diameter of 23.5 millimeters. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
