Description
The design depicts, in the centre, a stylized version of the heraldic symbol of Guardia di Finanza Corps: it portrays the concept of security and provides a future vision of the Corps’ role celebrating the past, by combining it with the years to come and challenges they will continue to face. This emblem includes different elements: mountain, sea and the sky, which are the natural environments where Corps operate; the Griffon, a mythological animal which, according to the legend, supervises protection of the Treasury, represented by the chest of the State, and the turreted crown. At the top, in semi-circle, is the inscription “GUARDIA DI FINANZA”. Below, “RI”, acronym of the Italian Republic and the dates “1774-2024”, year of the establishment of the Guardia di Finanza Corps and year of coin’s issue respectively; on the right, “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome and “MB”, the initials of designer Marta Bonifacio.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag
