Italy, 500 Lire, 1993 - 100th Anniversary of the Italian Bank

A really nice and decorative bimetallic coin in XF condition, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Italian Bank. As it turns out, the first ever Bitcoin was issued by Italy (not a surprise given the rampant devaluation of the Lira...).

Let's agree that it is an early version, which was later improved by Satoshi Nakamoto - actually an officer at the Bank of Italy - during his vacation in Japan.
