530th anniversary of the death of Ghirlandaio

In the centre is the Virgin in prayer, a detail of the painting ‘Adoration of the Shepherds’ by Domenico Ghirlandaio, kept in the Sassetti Chapel of Santa Trinità (Florence). On the left are the inscription ‘SAN MARINO’ and the letter ‘R’, the identifier of the Mint of Rome; on the right, the inscription ‘GHIRLANDAIO’ and the dates ‘1494’ and ‘2024’; at the bottom, the initials of the artist, Valerio de Seta (‘VdS’). The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
