Interesting fact
The 5 Lire coin from Italy made of Aluminium was minted during a time of economic hardship in Italy, specifically during the post-World War II period. The coin was introduced in 1946 and was used until 1950, when it was replaced by a new design. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its unique design and historical significance.
