Italian 500 Lire Silver Coin Ring | Repubblica Italiana Hand-Forged
The Shields of Italy's Greatest Cities, Worn on Your Hand.
This ring is hand-forged from a genuine Italian 500 Lire silver coin (Repubblica Italiana, circa 1958 onward) — a piece of everyday Italian life that once circulated through Rome, Milan, and Florence. Each ring preserves the original engravings exactly as struck: the "REPUBBLICA ITALIANA" inscription, the "L.500" marking, and the intricate city shield motifs that trace Italy's cultural identity across centuries. Deep-oxidized to bring the raised lettering and shields into dramatic relief.
