San Marino 2 Euro 2017 Sustainable Tourism

The United Nations declared 2017 as the year of International Sustainable Tourism. Sustainable tourism can be briefly described as taking into account the local population and animals, as well as the environment. Sustainable products are used as widely as possible and are environmentally friendly. To support the United Nations idea on Sustainable Tourism, San Marino has issued a special 2 Euro coin. In the centre of the face of the coin is a representation of a living world globe designed by Canadian Andrew Lewis. This artist designs coins for various coin houses in different countries. At the top of the coin is the text æTurismo SostenibileÆ (Sustainable Tourism). At the bottom of the coin the country name San Marino and the year 2017 are shown. The coin is packed in a fresh bright pink / orange package on which Andrew Lewis's design is regularly repeated.
