| Additional information |
Issued as part of Italy's ongoing "Colori d'Italia" collector series, this piece belongs to a run of thematic five-euro silver coins produced by IPZS targeting the domestic gift market rather than numismatic circulation. The Vespa — designed by Corradino D'Ascanio for Piaggio in 1946, specifically because D'Ascanio despised motorcycles and refused to straddle one — became an Italian export phenomenon, eventually manufactured under license across four continents. The KM#433.2 designation distinguishes it from the green variant of the same type, differing only in applied enamel color.
