2 euro Italy 2011 - Italian Unification (proof set) (used paper sleeve)

In 1861, after centuries of division, Italy was finally unified and the modern Italian state was created. This unification, known as the Risorgimento, resulted from the efforts of many important figures, including Giuseppe Garibaldi and Camillo Cavour, who played key roles in the process. After the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed, Turin became its first capital. This historic event marked the beginning of a new era for Italy and significantly influenced its political, social and cultural development. The commemorative €2 coin issued for the occasion was struck in the highest proof quality and included only in proof sets, so purchasing this set is the only way to own it.
