Mint Sets

What a Serie Zecca is

The Serie Zecca, or mint set, brings together in one pack the lira coins of a given year, struck by the State Mint for collectors. The denominations included change from year to year: to see what a set contains, look at the photo on the product page.

The years available

• 1968, 1969 and 1970;
• from 1980 to 1984;
• 1985, 1986 and 1987, each in two versions: FDC and FS.

FDC or Proof

FDC (Uncirculated) means coins that have never circulated, with the normal striking finish. FS (Proof) is a more careful striking, with fields polished like a mirror. When the name of the set does not state the version, check the photo and the product page, or use the "Ask about this piece" button.

Proof sets show fingerprints and scratches easily: it is best not to handle the coins with bare hands.
