Not in circulation.Silver plated coin.Mintage only 135 pcs The Pelagie Islands (Italian: Isole Pelagie) is the southernmost archipelago of Italy, located between Malta and Tunisia. The ancient Phoenicians knew about the Pelagic Islands, who sailed to the Strait of Gibraltar and used Malta as a parking lot for their ships. Now it is difficult to say how these islands were used (and whether they were used at all) by the Phoenicians, but they were plotted on their maps. Most likely, they also used the island of Lampedusa for mooring their ships and resting their crews. During the heyday of the Greek colonies in Sicily, the Pelagic Islands are indicated on the maps of Syracusan sailors as uninhabited. They were also uninhabited during the period of expansion of Carthage, but during the period of the power of Rome on the island of Lampedusa there was a small artel for processing fish. It is known that for a long time Lampedusa was used as its base by Arab pirates who raided the island of Sicily. In 1630, Giulio Tomasi was awarded the title of Prince of Lampedusa and Linosa by the Spanish king, which marked the beginning of the famous noble family. In 1760, the Tomasi family recognized the authority of the French crown, and the Pelagie Islands actually came under the jurisdiction of France. In the middle of the 19th century, the Tomasi family sold their possessions to the Neapolitans, who in turn ceded the Pelagie Islands to the British, who had previously captured Malta. In 1919, Great Britain cedes the Pelagie Islands to Italy, which includes them in its territories. Combined shipping : When you buy more different items, please use Add to Cart.
