Sounds like a 5 liras, here's a pic it's in the second series: coins of the Italian Republic

And here's a little info on it: coins of the Italian Republic

 

KM#92, 436,400,000 minted at Rome in 1954, aluminum 5 Lire, 10¢ F, 25¢ VF, 50¢ XF and $3 Unc in the 2008 35th Ed. Krause.

That's a rudder on the obverse and a dolphin on the reverse.

1954 was far and away the largest mintage of the design from 1951-2001, after which the Euro took over.

 

yep thats it

 

Ahhh the ole boy on the dolphin coins. Back around 400 BC that coin was a bute !!!! However, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Traci

 

Beautiful Svessien. I love ancients, like most of us here. Thanks for the image. I love the 2 Franc piece you use for an icon. I collect these as well, they are one of the most beautiful coins of Ceres. Traci

 

Thanks, Traci

I just took some new pics of that coin.

I think this came out pretty nice:






Photo tip: Find a way to brace the camera, use the macro function if availible, and the timer or remote switch to take the pic.
(Hope you don't mind)

 

Nice toning on that coin, svessien.
