Italy 1 lira 1946 Edition Apple Branch Coat of Arms KM-219 colored Ag coin 2001

The 2001 Italy 1 Lira 1946 Edition Colored Silver Coin is a beautiful numismatic tribute to one of the first coins issued by the Italian Republic after World War II. Struck from silver with selective color application, this commemorative recreates the iconic 1946 1 Lira design while celebrating the birth of modern Italian coinage. The reverse features the famous orange-red fruit suspended from a leafy branch, enhanced with vivid color that brings the design to life. A wreath of green leaves surrounds the central motif, while the original denomination L.1, the date 1946, and the commemorative year 2001 complete the elegant composition. The obverse displays the graceful female personification of the Italian Republic in left-facing profile, wearing a laurel-inspired headdress, surrounded by the inscription Repubblica Italiana. Fine engraving, balanced lettering, and the artist’s signature further enrich the design. Inspired by the historic 1946 circulation coin, this silver commemorative represents Italy’s post-war renewal and numismatic heritage. Its attractive colorized details and faithful recreation of a classic design make it an outstanding addition for collectors of Italian coinage, historical issues, and world numismatics.
