Description:
1000 Lire Map error. The coin was to celebrate the growing unification of Europe by showing a map of Europe. Unfortunately they made a number of major blunders on the map. Denmark was shown as part of Germany. East Germany was left off of Germany. The Netherlands was part of Belgium! After receiving diplomatic protests Italy quickly introduced a corrected version of the coin.
