Product Description

San Marino has decided to change the motif of its euro coins from the year 2017. From 2002 to 2016 there was an image of the Crest of San Marino nn the 1 Euro coins of San Marino. From the year 2017 they have chosen an image of the second San Marino Tower for the face of the 1 Euro coin. The Second Tower of San Marino called Cesta or Fratta was built around 1200-1250 a.d. on the remains of an ancient Roman Fort. This fort was at the highest point of San Marino, the Monte Titano at about 750 metres above sea level. The Adriatic Sea can be seen clearly from the Second Tower. In the year 1925, the tower was restored to its original construction. At present, the museum of Saint Marino and the Museum of Historical Weapons are housed in the tower. The top left of the coin shows the country name San Marino and at the top right is the year 2017. The outer ring of the coin shows the 12 stars of Europe. These coins are, of course, legal tender.
