The Republic of San Marino was granted the right to mint euro coins by virtue of their long-standing monetary agreements with the Italian government. Sammarinese euro coins feature separate designs for every coin: Government Building (Palazzo Pubblico), Coat of arms, Saint Marinus (inspired by a painting of the school of Guercino), Basilica of San Marinus, First tower (La Guaita), Statue of Liberty and Third tower (Il Montale) |
