Description: The 2002 Italian 50 cent coin is unique and coveted by collectors due to its historical and artistic value. Issued on the eve of the introduction of the euro on January 1, 2002, it symbolizes the beginning of a new era in the European economy. On this day, euro banknotes and coins became the new currency for the 12 countries of the European Monetary Union. Two months later, the euro became the only legal tender in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Finland and France. The obverse of the coin depicts the famous monument to Marcus Aurelius in the Capitoline Square in Rome, surrounded by 12 stars of the European Union. This design choice highlights Italy's rich cultural heritage. The reverse of the coin features the denomination "50 EURO CENT", a map of Europe symbolizing the integration of the European Union countries, and six parallel lines with stars. The coin is made of Nordic gold, an alloy of copper, aluminum, zinc and tin, giving it a golden hue and high resistance to corrosion. The first year of the euro makes the coin rare and valuable, especially in good condition. Its unique design and historical significance make it an important addition to any collection.
