Hi friends, today I have a very special coin for you ... I'm talking about the 2 silver liras of 1916. It doesn't have a great value, just over 60€ but in my opinion it has a spectacular design. On one side of the coin there is the effigy of Vittorio Emanuale III king of Italy, while on the other side there is the figure of a chariot drawn by 4 galloping horses, hence the name "Quadriglia briosa".

Here is how it should be in better condition.

They were produced from 1914 until 1935, the rarest are those of 1927 which can be worth up to 4.000€
