Two football centenaries celebrated with a special coin, one for each team. For the 100th anniversaries of Ssc Napoli and Ac Fiorentina, the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato will deliver to the Ministry of the Economy two silver coins, each with the logo of the Serie A football club and a representation of the city, with a value of five euros.

All these details are set out in two decrees, in which the 'issue of the currency' is 'authorised', which entered the Official Journal on 7 February 2026.

Launch details

The actual 'birthdays' will be in August for both clubs - Napoli on 1 August; Fiorentina on 29 August - but both coins will be 'legal tender as of 9 February 2026'. As stated in the fourth article of both texts, the 'quota and modalities of transfer' of the currencies will be established by subsequent measures.

How Napoli's currency will be

In the meantime, however, all the information is known. Including the author: Silvia Petrassi. They are coins in a 'proof version with coloured elements, year 2026, to be given, in special containers, to Italian or foreign organisations, associations and private individuals'. They will be 32 millimetres wide and weigh 18 grams (maximum tolerance of 5 per cent).

On the obverse side, thus the 'head' of the coin, the official coat of arms of Napoli is depicted in the centre. In the upper lap is the inscription 'REPUBBLICA ITALIANA', while in the lower lap is the inscription 'SSC NAPOLI'. On the left and right are the two dates (1926 and 2026).

On the other, the reverse, in the foreground is a view of the city of Naples with Vesuvius and the Maradona Stadium. At the top are the face value '5 EURO' and the 'R' identifying the Rome Mint. At the bottom is the signature of the author 'PETRASSI'. Among the last details, the decree adds the continuous knurling of the edge and the presence of coloured elements

How Fiorentina's currency will look

Nothing has changed in terms of dimensions and materials for the commemorative coin of the Purple Society. The author is also still Silvia Petrassi. What is different, of course, is the depiction.

The front of the currency bears the lily, the symbol of the football team. At the top is the inscription 'REPUBBLICA ITALIANA'. At the bottom are the words 'FIORENTINA' and, immediately below, the two dates 1926 and 2026.

On the other side, there is a view of the city of Florence in the foreground, with a cloud in the sky. At the top is the face value '5 EURO'. To the right is the 'R' identifying the Rome Mint. At the bottom is the signature of the author 'PETRASSI'.
