The 50 Lira coin shows Vulcan, the god of fire on the obverse. Vulcan is associated with beneficial and hindering fire, and also the fire of volcanoes which comes from beneath. Fire has always been worshipped as it can cause destruction to the harvested grain, but can also be beneficial when we are facing an opponent.Vulcan
I have a 50 lira. I found it in a roll of Canadian quarters when I was doing my laundry.
