Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Lire (Trial) 1931 from San Marino made of Silver is a rare and unique coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was designed by the Italian engraver, P. Mascagni, and features a portrait of Saint Marinus, the patron saint of San Marino, on the obverse side, and the San Marino coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1931 as a trial piece, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
