Comment

The coinage of the Republic of San Marino dedicated to work could not forget the art of stonemasonry that the San Marino people inherited from their Holy Founder. The stonemason represented here works on the humblest of his creations, the paving stone, intended to pave the streets and squares of the city of San Marino
