Description from the seller

Lot 11 Coins 500 Lire Silver (8 Caravelle + 3 Centenary Quadriga)
Description
I am selling a splendid lot consisting of 11 silver 500 lire coins from the Italian Republic, all original to the period. Excellent base for a numismatic collection or as an investment in physical silver bullion (total weight about 121 grams).

As is good numismatic practice, THEY HAVE NOT been cleaned or polished with chemical products to avoid altering their value.
The lot comprises two different historical types and includes a good variety of mint years:
8 COINS TYPE "CARAVELLE" (Silver 835):
• 1958 (2 specimens - first year of ordinary issue)
• 1959 (1 specimen)
• 1960 (2 specimens)
• 1961 (1 specimen)
• 1966 (2 specimens)
3 COMMEMORATIVE COINS "UNITÀ D'ITALIA" / QUADRIGA (Silver 835):
• 1961 (3 specimens - special issue for the 1st Centenary 1861-1961)
