Comment
He is a man, a shepherd, wrapped in a large cloak. Only his head can be seen, below which the hands move along the rustic instrument that spreads his feeble sound in the quiet of the fields. The figure of the shepherd is meant to be a symbol of peace that calms down in a rural atmosphere free from any form of violence.San Marino's 1981 Mint Set

Interesting fact
The 2 Lire coin from San Marino, minted in 1981, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and culture. On one side, the coin features an image of Saint Marinus, the patron saint of San Marino, while the other side features a depiction of the Palazzo Pubblico, the seat of the country's government. This coin is particularly interesting because it was minted during a time when San Marino was still using the Italian lira as its official currency, before adopting the euro in 2002.
