MTAC7986 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 12:41 am I have two 100 lira coins, one from 1974 and one 1977 and both of them have a reverse die error. The front and back of both coins are completely opposite. If you are looking at the front with the head "upright" and then you flip it over without rotating at all, the reverse is completely upside down. I'm wondering if anyone can help me determine the value of these coins or at least if they are something "special" Thank you in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 16639 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 04:05 am Hello and fo the Forum! This is the normal way these coins were struck. It's called 'Coin Alignment' and is exactly the same as US coins. Coins with the obverse and reverse the same way up (like modern Euro coins and most modern British coins) are said to have 'Medal Alignment'. Italian 100-Lire coins of the 1970s are of very little value, like most modern coins that were replaced by the Euro in 2002. My local coin shop has a big tray of coins for 10 pence (about 12 US cents) each and you can usually pull quite a few out of it. Lots of people saved them as souvenirs when the Euro was introduced, and there are still millions of them lying around. They were also often brought home as souvenirs by people spending vacations in Italy.
