Comment
The five symbolic men of humanity on the five continents of the Earth are aboard the same boat wandering in the ocean of stars. There is no difference in their somatic characteristics and this is intended to overcome the concept of division between the races that populate the earth. The representation, on the other hand, rises to the idea of the commonality of all humanity which, although politically divided, lives in the world. Therefore, no one can become estranged, no one can be disinterested in his fellow human beings.San Marino's 1973 Mint Set
