AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ITALIA. Rome. 500 Lire. 1998.
- Value: 500 Lire.
- Year: 1998.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: GIAMPAOLI. Reverse: REPVBBLICA ITALIANA · L.500 · R.
- Grade: PR68DCAM (PCGS).
Silver coin belonging to the famous type «Caravelle». The obverse, by Pietro Giampaoli, depicts Italy as a young woman dressed in Renaissance style—inspired by Letizia Savonitto, wife of the artist—surrounded by the coats of arms of nineteen regional capitals; the reverse, designed by Guido Veroi, shows the caravels Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria sailing to the right. The proof finish features deeply mirrored fields and heavily frosted reliefs, creating the pronounced cameo contrast recognized by the DCAM designation with the high grade PR68. This 1998 issue was not intended for circulation and was included exclusively in the official collectors’ series, with a proof run of 9,000 pieces.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
