Question
Good evening Brad. Could you please tell me who the Lady on the Italian 1909 2 Centesimi is. Many thanks. Helen
Hi Helen, the female figure on all modern Italian coins are versions of 'Italia', a generic effigy of the country similar to 'Liberty' on American coins.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures of the other versions, values and lots more interesting info.
