Hey everyone, Just started going through my jar of foreign coins tonight and thought I would share a couple of my finds so far. 1953 Vatican 2 Lire
Thanks! I found them really interesting since I didn't know the Vatican minted their own coins before I saw these.
Thanks moneyer12, I really liked the 5 pfennig and thought it was in really good condition for its age.
it certainly is, the imperial coinage always looks striking with the crowned eagle, as a side did you also know the vatican have their own euros?
I did know they had their own euros (though I've yet to find any in circulation yet) but I thought that the euro was their first true coin minting. I always thought the other vatican coins were more commemorative than actually circulating money.
always loved that pfennig design the 1 pfennig is also beautiful but as it is copper it is often hard to get realy detailed examples
