This is a very special lire coin and one of the most sought after that has been created because it is the Bee Lire.  On the one side is a picture of the bee, a symbol of determination and hard work, and on the other side is the olive branch and the olive oil, a symbol of agriculture. I love the beautiful frame of this pendant and the triple strand necklace that it comes with.  It's such an important look when you wear it because it is a special piece of Italian history. If you always wanted to carry back your own lire coin from Italy and make it into a piece of jewelry, there is nothing more perfect than the bee lire pendant.
