This 50 Lire was authorised by the law of 24 December 1951, n. 1405, and the presidential decree of 31 December 1951, both printed in the side margins. Its helmeted Italia, known to Italian collectors as \"Italia elmata\", personifies the young republic. 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\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e helmeted head of Italia at left, \"REPUBBLICA ITALIANA\", \"Vale Cinquanta Lire\", an empty ornamental frame with a shell and fruit garlands at right, and \"Lire 50 – Biglietto di Stato a corso legale – 50 Lire\" along the bottom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e a central \"50 Lire\" cartouche with laurel and fruit, draped garland borders, serial numbers and the counterfeiting warning.\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\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 × 65 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 State note (Biglietto di Stato)\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 Ministero del Tesoro (Ministry of the Treasury)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Law of 24 December 1951\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato – Officina Carte Valori, Rome\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\u003eF (Fine) \/ Circulated.\u003c\/strong\u003e A well-circulated note with multiple folds and creases, softer paper and some edge wear or light staining, but complete, with all design elements clearly visible.
