Italy 20 and 50 Centesimi 1863 to 1867

Both of these old Italian coins share the same pattern, except, of course, for the large '20' or '50' on the back. Their catalog values depend strongly on the amount of wear:

20 CENTESIMI (15 mm diameter)
worn: $5 US dollars catalog value
average circulated (like our picture): $12
well preserved: $25
fully uncirculated: $140
coins dated 1867: multiply these values by four
coins with NB instead of BN: $2000 well preserved

50 CENTESIMI (18 mm diameter)
worn: $8 US dollars catalog value
average circulated (like our picture): $15
well preserved: $35
fully uncirculated: $150
coins dated 1867: multiply these values by three

These are approximate catalog values. Use our Important Terminology link to convert these to actual buy and sell values.
