Leuchtturm Coin Album with 2002 Italian Euro Coin Set

This item is a Leuchtturm brand coin album or holder, specifically designed to display and store a complete set of 2002 Italian Euro coins. The album is constructed from a rigid, blue-colored material, likely stiff cardstock or a similar durable board, with a laminated or glossy finish. The album features precisely cut circular inserts, providing secure slots for each denomination of the Euro currency. The top half of the album visually represents an organized layout for various Euro cent and Euro coin denominations, with printed specifications (diameter, weight, thickness) alongside each coin's designated spot. For example, '10 EURO-CENT' is accompanied by 'ø 19.75 mm', '4.10 g', and '1.93 mm'. Similarly, '5 EURO-CENT' has 'ø 21.25 mm' and '3.92'. The 'Leuchtturm' logo, a yellow square with a white lighthouse icon, is prominently displayed on the left side, indicating the manufacturer. The lower half of the album contains actual physical coins, carefully placed within their respective slots. These coins appear to be a full set of Italian Euro coinage from the year 2002, as indicated by the label 'Italy 2002' on the right side. The set includes denominations ranging from 1 Euro Cent to 2 Euro. The coins themselves exhibit a shiny, 'mint-graded untouched' appearance, suggesting they are either uncirculated (UNC) or in a very high state of preservation, with no visible signs of wear, scratching, or discoloration. The various metallic compositions are apparent, from the copper-colored 1, 2, and 5 Euro cent coins to the brassy 10, 20, and 50 Euro cent coins, and the bi-metallic 1 and 2 Euro coins. The album's design includes a stylized 'Euro' symbol and an outline of the European Union stars, adding to its thematic presentation. The overall condition of both the album and the coins appears excellent, consistent with new or carefully preserved numismatic material.
