Find this 1 euro of San Marino and you’re rich: here is its value
San Marino, an independent republic since the 14th century, even if in fact “inserted” geographically and culturally in Italy, precisely between the provinces of Rimini and Pesaro, between Emilia and the Marches, also does from a monetary point of view, since already with the lira the very small republic has resorted to its own monetary issues, a tradition maintained with the euro, which in fact has also been coined for San Marino since 2002 even if as for the Vatican, the San Marino reality does not is part of the European Union.
Being an extremely small nation, the circulation of San Marino coins is limited and for this reason they are often very interesting and sought-after issues from a collectors point of view.
The 1 euro coins of San Marino best represent this concept, in fact they are among the most sought after among collectors, also because there are two versions, the first series developed from 2002 to 2016, and the second which is the current one, precisely since 2016.
The first series is recognizable by the coat of arms of San Marino on the obverse with the three central towers, the crown above, the two laurel and oak branches on the sides of the coat of arms and joined with a ribbon at the bottom, while the obverse of the second series has a depiction of the Fratta Tower, the Second Tower of San Marino.
The rarest issue is undoubtedly the first, that of 2002: a 1 euro coin from this year, in excellent condition, is worth up to 35 euros, but in Brilliant Uncirculatedthat is to say the best possible condition, it can “touch” 60 euros.
