Product Description

With effect from 2017, San Marino has changed the motif of its euro coins. From 2002 to 2016 Palazzo Publico was shown on the normal 2 Euro coins of San Marino. Each member country of the Euro may change the motif of its euro coins after 15 years, and San Marino has made first use of this. From the year 2017 you will see a completely different picture on the normal 2 Euro coins. On the face of the new ænormalÆ 2 euro coin can be seen a detail of the painting Madonna in Gloria. This painting was painted around the year 1640 by Giovan Battista Urbinelli also called Urbinelli of Urbino. The painting is to be found in the National Museum of San Marino. The coin, shows a detail of the painting where one sees Saint Marino as he takes San Marino (the Three Towers) safely into his hands. On the top right is the country name San Marino, and below right is the year 2017. The outer ring of the coin shows the 12 stars of Europe. These coins are, of course, legal tender.
