Comment
Theater. Through the unmistakable iconography of Hamlet's monologue in front of Yorik's skull, we wanted to remember one of the greatest playwrights of all time, William Shakespeare, and what is perhaps his most emblematic work.Interesting fact

The obverse side of the coin depicts the iconic Teatro Titano, a historic theater located in the heart of San Marino's capital city, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a stage curtain, symbolizing the country's rich tradition of theater and performance arts. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can serve as a window into a country's history, culture, and artistic heritage.
