Interesting fact
The 2 Lire coin from San Marino, minted between 1898 and 1906, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of displaying the usual coat of arms or national emblem, it depicts a portrait of Pope Leo XIII, who was the Pope at the time of the coin's minting. This is an interesting fact because it highlights the close religious and historical ties between San Marino and the Catholic Church.
