The value of the 5 lire with the dolphin depends on several factors, including the coinage year, the state of preservation and the rarity of the coin. Here is an estimate of the current value:
1. Common coins (1951-2001)
The most widespread coins, minted in millions of copies, have a value between 1 and 5 euros if in good condition. If the coin is a lot of minting (perfect, without signs of usury), the value can be up to 15 euros.
2. Rare and high-value coins
Some vintages are particularly sought after by collectors:
5 lire 1956: it is the rarest and most coveted. If in very good condition, it can be worth from 500 to 2,000 euros.
5 lire 1951: the first edition, if well preserved, can be worth between 50 and 150 euros.
5 lire 1969 with minting errors: some variants with defects can exceed 100 euros.
3. Influence of the state of conservation
The state of preservation is crucial in the value of a currency. The main categories are:
Britter (FDC): Perfect coin, no signs of wear and tear.
Gorgeous (SPL): slight signs of wear, but still sharp details is average value.
Beautiful (BB): visible signs of circulation, but lesable currency is low value.
