Comment

The establishment of Section IV endowed the State Council with judicial powers to judge the administration, and to ensure that citizens can appeal to an independent judge to arbitrate their disputes with the public administration (such as cases relating to building permits, public competitions, contracts with the public administration, etc.) whereas, previously, these differences were settled by the administration itself. This progress is a cornerstone of the submission of public figures and, in particular, the State to the law.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Italian State Council, which was established in 1861. The coin's design features the council's emblem on one side and the value of 200 lire on the other. The use of Bronzital, a copper-based alloy, gives the coin a distinctive golden color and makes it stand out from other coins in the series. Additionally, the coin's relatively low weight of 5.0 grams makes it an interesting collector's item for those interested in numismatics.
