Guglielmo Marconi (1874–1937) pioneered long-distance radio and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909. Vincenzo Bellini (1801–1835) composed the operas Norma and La Sonnambula. Alessandro Volta (1745–1827) invented the electric battery, and the unit of voltage, the volt, is named after him. The lira was replaced by the euro in 2002, and lira banknotes stopped being legal tender on 28 February 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2000 Lire:\u003c\/strong\u003e front Guglielmo Marconi; back his yacht Elettra, radio towers and an early radio set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5000 Lire:\u003c\/strong\u003e front Vincenzo Bellini and the Teatro Massimo Bellini in Catania; back a scene from his opera Norma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10000 Lire:\u003c\/strong\u003e front Alessandro Volta and his voltaic pile; back the Tempio Voltiano in Como.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 119 × 61 mm, 126 × 70 mm and 133 × 70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard circulation banknotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italian lira\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banca d'Italia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDates:\u003c\/strong\u003e D.M. 3 October 1990, 4 January 1985 and 3 September 1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Officina della Banca d'Italia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVF (Very Fine) \/ Circulated.\u003c\/strong\u003e Shows clear signs of circulation, such as several folds, minor edge wear and some loss of crispness, while remaining fully intact with clear design details.
