The Galleon Five Hundred Lira
The Galleon Five Hundred Lira was first minted in silver in 1957, as a trial, and then produced and revised up until 1967. The trial pieces have become very rare for the detailed error of the coin; the flag waving against the wind, the editions from 1958 to 1967 are common. In 1958 24,240,000 pieces were issued figuring a beautiful scene in renaissance style, work by Pietro Giampaoli, and that of Letizia Savonitto, the artist's wife.
In 1951 a medallion figuring the aforesaid scene, created in memory of the first 10 years of marriage, won the first prize at the International Numismatics Exposition in Madrid. On the other side are Columbus's galleons: the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, artwork by Guido Veroi. The Galleon Five Hundred Lira is a first class coin, with a diameter of 29.5mm and weighs 11 g, in silver.
