The Republic of San Marino, one of the world's oldest republics, has a rich numismatic history. Despite its small size, San Marino has issued its own coins for centuries, reflecting its sovereignty and cultural heritage.
San Marino's coinage history dates back to the 19th century. The first coins were issued in 1864, following a convention with Italy. These coins were denominated in centesimi and lire, similar to the Italian system, but they bore distinct San Marino designs.
Throughout the 20th century, San Marino continued to issue its own coins, even after adopting the lira as its official currency in alignment with Italy. The silver coins from this period often featured important national symbols, historical figures, and commemorative themes.
San Marino has a tradition of issuing commemorative silver coins to mark significant events and anniversaries. These coins were not only legal tender but also collectible items cherished by numismatists worldwide.
San Marino adopted the euro (€) in 2002, following an agreement with the European Union. Despite not being an EU member, San Marino was granted the right to issue euro coins with its own designs. The silver euro coins from San Marino continue to be popular among collectors.
Today, San Marino regularly issues commemorative silver coins in limited quantities. These modern coins often celebrate cultural, historical, and international themes, maintaining the republic's long-standing tradition of numismatic excellence.
