2025 Italy €5 Flavors of Italy – Piemonte BU

Celebrating The Cuisine Of Italy’s Piemonte Region

The connection between wine and food has long been a passion of foodies, and nowhere is the practice of enogastronomy—the art of knowing how to pair wine with food—been observed with more zeal than in Italy where delicious combinations of pasta, pizza, cheese, and wine have been handed down generation after generation through the centuries transmitting the values and essence of being Italian. Not only that, but each region in Italy boasts its own specialties, giving visitors to the home of the Roman emperors a delicious and mouthwatering variety of food and wine.

Brilliant Uncirculated Coins With Selective Colorization

In honor of this rich history, the Italian State Mint introduced the “Cultura Enogastronomica Italiana” (Italian Food and Wine Culture) series in 2020. Each issue is dedicated to a specific region and showcases famous monuments in the background with culinary treasures standing out in color. Each 10.3-gram copper-nickel legal-tender €5 (five Euros) coin comes in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and comes housed in a themed in blister card that includes information about the region and the food and wine featured on the coin.

Delicious Chocolate And Barolo Wine

Here you can secure a 2025-dated “Flavors of Italy” coin that pays tribute to Italy’s Piemonte region in northern Italy. Piemonte is famed for Barolo wine (The King of Wines), truffles, rolling vineyards, Alpine views, rich cuisine, medieval towns, and elegant cities like Turin. The colorized portion of the coin shows chocolate, wine, and the iconic Mole Antonelliana located in Turin. A mole in Italian is a building of monumental proportions. Named after its architect, Alessandro Antonelli, the Mole Antonelliana features striking architecture, a panoramic elevator, and houses the National Cinema Museum—blending history, film, and breathtaking city views. The most famous chocolate from Piemonte is the Gianduiotto, a symbol of Turin and one of the world’s first individually wrapped chocolates. The coin’s obverse shows the Venaria Reale Palace in Turin along with an inscription that reads: “SAPORI D’ITALIA,” which translates to “Flavors of Italy.”
