Vatican City 1/2, 1 Soldo and 2 and 4 Soldi 1866 to 1869
The Vatican issues a lot of coinage, and has been doing so for a long time. Your specimen is from the time of Pope Pius IX, 1846 to 1878.
A soldo is 5 centesimi, and your coin was issued in copper in 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 centesimi denominations. The collector value of these coins is similar across the denominations, so we show one set of catalog values that apply in general, as follows:
worn: $6 US dollars catalog value
average circulated (like our picture): $12
well preserved: $25
fully uncirculated: $75
Be sure to use our Terminology page to properly interpret the values shown above.
