La moneta in alto è un pezzo della mia personale collezione.
Ringrazio di cuore la professoressa Silvana Vigelli, che è stata mia docente di microbiologia nel mitico Istituto Professionale dei Servizi Sociali di Stato "Don Primo Mazzolari" di Mantova.
Fu lei a donarmi questa moneta che, ovviamente, non cederò né cambierò.
Essa è la moneta della terra di Gesù, è anche l'unica che ho nella collezione ed è anche un ricordo di anni bellissimi che ho passato, dal 1994 al 1999.
Ho voluto mettere le monete israeliane per fare in modo che chi va in Israele a vedere i luoghi santi possa regolarsi con i soldi.

Cordiali saluti.
