Product Description
Italy is going to issue a series of 5 Euro coins with the theme 'Italian food and wine'. The first coin in this series is dedicated to perhaps the most famous of all food from Italy - Pizza. The world's first pizzeria opened in Naples in 1830. This restaurant - 'Antica Pizzeria Port Alba' - is still open! The first pizzas were probably baked around 1575 and used to be seen as a real farm meal. Nowadays, pizzas are indispensable! On the obverse of the coin is 'Pulcinella', a comic servant. Furthermore, a view of the Gulf of Naples is shown and, of course, a pizza is depicted with a slice cut out. Additionally, the country name 'Repubblica Italiana' (Republic of Italy) is displayed. The reverse of the coin shows the ingredients used in the pizza together with the bricks from the front of a real pizza oven. Also, the value indication of 5 Euro is shown along with the year of issue, 2020. The coin is mounted in a beautiful Coincard which itself is then presented in a beautiful blister!
