Miabella offers you the finest in modern and classic designs. Stylish sterling silver drop earrings crafted by hand in Italy showcase an authentic 2 Lira Bee coin in a honeycomb hexagonal setting. The retired "bee" coin is one of the most sought after Liras and hasn't been minted for circulation since the 1950's, a period of recovery and economic boom in Italy in the postwar years. Dubbed the "miracle", these years brought unity and hope to the Italian population. The obverse features a bee, symbol of hard work, cooperation and productivity, on the reverse there is an olive branch, universal symbol of peace. Years in circulation: 1953-1959
