Italian 14k Gold Lire Coin Pendant

This vintage Italian pendant features an authentic 1978 200 Lire coin, set in a finely crafted 14K yellow gold bezel by Milor. The coin itself is composed of aluminum-bronze, displaying the elegant profile of Italia designed by Mario Vallucci, encircled by the inscription Repubblica Italiana. The reverse bears the denomination 200 Lire and date 1978, representing Italy’s rich postwar numismatic heritage.

The pendant’s bail is stamped Italy, Milor, 14K, attesting to its Italian origin and Milor’s signature quality.

An era celebrated for combining modern minimalism with traditional artistry.

With the bale included, the pendant measures 1 3/8 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter, weighing 6.21 grams. This piece embodies the distinct Italian elegance of its time, balancing historical significance with understated sophistication. Excellent vintage condition with minimal wear consistent with age.
