Initial mintage of 5000 after decreased to 2300

Interesting fact

The 2005 50 Euro gold coin from Italy, made of .900 gold and weighing 16.13g, has a unique design feature. The coin's reverse side features a stylized image of the Italian Peninsula, with the words "ITALIA" and "50 EURO" written on either side. However, if you look closely, you'll notice that the coin's designers included a small, subtle detail - a tiny image of a leaf, located at the bottom of the coin's reverse side. This leaf is actually a nod to the coin's gold content, as it represents the gold leaf that is used in the coin's minting process. It's a small but interesting detail that adds an extra layer of depth to the coin's design.
