History of the Italian 500 Lire Silver Coin

The 500 Lire Silver Coins were minted during two periods of the Italian Republic. The first minting took place from 1958 to 1967. During this period the 500 lire were minted in silver.

The second period was from 1982 until 2001. In this period the 500 Lire Silver Coin were minted adding bronze, thus becoming bimetallic. In 2001, the issue was suspended forever because of the introduction of the single European currency, the Euro.
