Best Answer

Modern L100 coins dated 1954 and later were struck in a stainless-steel alloy called "Acmonital".

If your coin is earlier than that, please post a new, separate question with its date. Without that information it's not possible to give a specific answer.

Neither. From 1955 to 1992 the coin was made of stainless steel.

The composition was changed to cupronickel in 1993 and remained the same until 2002 when Italy adopted the euro as its currency.

This is an Italian 100 Lire coin, and in average-circulated condition, it's worth about $4 to a collector.

If it's in perfect uncirculated condition, it catalogs for up to $50, if you can find a serious collector who's looking for it!

I have a bracelet and on the tag it says that the bracelt is 10k lire The chain has the JCM 10k mark on it Does that mean that the chain is gold and the lire coins are not or are they all gold?

If I read your question correctly the bracelet is made from Italian lire coins and the chain is 10K. If these are real Lire the coins they are not gold, but that they could be set in a 10K coin holder to hold them to the chain. Often when coins are used in jewelry they are placed inside a frame/holder. My guess is that what you have.

The Italian lira (including the 500 lire note) was replaced by the euro in 2002. Therefore, a 500 lire note is no longer legal tender and has no exchange value. However, as a collectible item, its value would depend on factors such as age, condition, and rarity to collectors.


What is the metal composition of a 50 Lira and 100 Lira?

According to en.ucoin.net/catalog, the small, silver-coloured 100 Lire coins minted for circulation in the Italian Republic were made apparently between 1955 and 1999 and are of stainless steel composition, but the website doesn't state whether any other metals are mixed in at low percentages. The coin may be 100% steel, or it may not be. I haven't been able to find that information. The Italian 50 Lire coin, recorded by the same website as minted between 1954 and 1999, is also listed as stainless steel. Both the L.50 and L.100 coins were in circulation (use as payment) until 2001.

Italy may not use the lira anymore but what country still does?

Lira is an obsolete monetary unit, as Italy is on the Euro system. Obviously coins made under the Lira or lire ( plural) denominations have some collector value. in the case of the l9ll Battleship coins- honoring the fiftieth anniversary of the Royal Italian Navy, these were done in both Silver and Gold and are very rare. The Gold Battleship coin was struck in both 50 and l00 Lire sizes.
