The cinema. The youngest of the artistic disciplines, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 1995, told by a clip of film in which we can glimpse the moving images of a classic by Charles Chaplin, Modern Times.Interesting fact
The 1997 San Marino 20 Lire coin featuring Cinema has a unique feature - it has a holographic design on the reverse side, which shows a moving image of a film strip when tilted at different angles. This innovative design was a first for coinage and adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin.
