50 Lire large type

Issued during the Republic of Italy (1946–date), the 50 Lire coin circulated between 1954 and 1989 under the Lira currency system (1861–2001). Struck in Acmonital (81.75% iron, 18.25% chromium), this coin is notable for its durability and distinctive silvery appearance.

With its milled edge, coin alignment ↑↓, and round shape, the 50 Lire became one of Italy’s most recognizable mid‑denomination coins. It was widely used until being demonetized on 28 February 2002, following Italy’s adoption of the Euro. Today, it remains a collectible piece of Italian numismatic history.
