Italy. 100 Lire , 200 Lire , 500 Lire 1988 "Università di Bologna" - Fdc (No reserve price)

The 1988 Italian Lire coins commemorating the Università di Bologna celebrate one of Europe's oldest universities, established in the 11th century. Italian Lire coins from this era were widely circulated as part of Italy's pre-euro currency system. The 100, 200, and 500 Lire denominations each featured distinct designs often honoring Italian culture, history, or important national landmarks. Coins like these were issued in both regular circulation and in special mint sets, sometimes referred to as 'FDC' (Fior di Conio) or 'Brilliant Uncirculated' condition, prized by collectors for their pristine detail. The Università di Bologna series highlights Italy's rich academic and historical heritage through numismatic art, making these coins appealing to both coin enthusiasts and those interested in Italian culture.
