San Marino
Republic of San Marino (it. Repubblica di
San Marino)
Capital: San Marino
Area: 61.2 km2
Population: 32.5 thousand people (2012)
Official language: Italian
Monetary unit before the introduction of
the euro: sanmarine lira = 100 centesimo, Italian lira = 100 centesimo
of the euro: from
January 1, 1999, from January 1, 2002 in cash Heads of state: 2 captains
regent
Form
of government: republic
Despite the fact that the Republic of San
Marino is not part of the European Union, the euro is still the official
currency on the territory of this state. In addition, San Marino is
allowed to issue its own euro coins.
Why so? The fact is that on
March 22, 1862, an agreement on friendship and trade was concluded between the
Republic of San Marino and the Kingdom of Italy, regulating financial and economic
relations between the two countries. Subsequently, it was confirmed
and supplemented by other agreements.
On November 29, 2000, a
currency agreement was concluded between the Republic of San Marino and the
Italian Republic on behalf of the European Union, on the basis of which the
microstate received the right to issue euro coins and use the euro as a state
currency.
And only on March 27, 2012 in Brussels
between San Marino and the European Union a direct currency agreement was
concluded without third-party agreements with Italy.
The new treaty allowed San Marino to use
the euro as its official currency and also established the legal status of the
euro in that state.
In addition, the agreement provides for
the establishment of a fixed annual issue of euro coins (including collectibles)
in the amount of 2.6 million euros in the first year after the entry into force
of the agreement. Thereafter, the issue volume may be reviewed
annually by the Joint Committee.
In addition, the Republic undertakes to
bring its own legislation in line with the requirements of the European Union
(issuance of euro banknotes and coins, combating fraud and counterfeiting of
money; prevention of money laundering and statistical reporting requirements).
After the agreement was ratified by both
parties on September 1, 2012, it entered into force. The new
document replaced the agreement signed in 2000 between Italy and San Marino.
In addition, San Marino also has the
right to issue gold coins denominated, which,
however, have the status of legal tender only on the territory of the Republic
itself.
The national side of the euro was
designed by artist and sculptor Frantisek Chochola Historically, the heads of state are
two co-rulers - the captain-regent (it. Capitani Reggenti), elected by the Great
General Council for 6 months, following the model of the consuls of the Roman
Republic. Investiture (taking office) takes place on April 1 and
October 1. The first investiture ceremony took place on December
12, 1243; according to tradition, it takes place in the ancient palace of
Walloni. The Captains Regent act collegially and all their
decisions must be made by mutual consent, with each having a veto over the
other.
The history of the issuance of San
Marino's own coins begins in 1864 with the issuance of copper 5 centesimos, the
first silver coin appeared in 1898, and a gold coin of 20 lire in 1925, today it
is a numismatic rarity. After World War II, the issuance of coins
resumed again only in 1972. Two years later, in 1974, new gold coins denominated
in scudo appeared. Throughout the history of these coins, their
mass and fineness have changed several times. Initially, two
denominations were issued: 1 (3 g of 917 fine gold) and 2 (6 g of 917 fine gold)
skudo. Later, another%, 5 and 10 skudos were added to the nominal
series.
In accordance with the Monetary Agreement between the
Italian Republic on behalf of the European Union and the Republic of San Marino
of November 29, 2000, the microstate received not only the right to issue its
own euro coins, but also the possibility of continuing the issuance
of gold coins denominated in skudo. Since 2002, in parallel with
the euro, San Marino has been issuing one gold coin in denominations of 2 skudos
(6.451 g of 900 gold). Frantisek Chochola from the
Czech Republic commissioned by the Independent State Philatelic and Numismatic
Company of San Marino. As before, the coins of San Marino are
minted in Rome at the State Polygraphic Institute and the Mint of Italy.
On the obverse of San Marino euro coins,
Frantisek Chochola displayed the most recognizable images and architectural
monuments of this small country.
Thus, the Montale Tower adorns the
national side of the 1-cent euro coin of San Marino. This is one of
the three towers of defensive fortifications, which is a separate structure,
without additional fortifications.
A small pentagonal gun tower was erected
in the 14th century as an additional fortification to the first Guaita tower. A
good view opens from the tower, which determined its functions: observation,
guard and signal. With the help of a bell, they warned of danger in
the event of an attack by enemy troops. In the lower, underground
part of the tower was a prison. Today, access to Montale, unlike
other towers, is limited for tourists.
The 2 euro cent coin depicts a statue
towering over San Marino's Liberty Square in front of the Government Palace. It
was designed by the sculptor Galetti and presented to the country in 1876 by the
German Countess Otilia Geyrot Wagener. The San Marino Statue of
Liberty is made in the form of a woman with a spear, dressed in the costume of
an ancient warrior.
The obverse of the 5 euro cent coin
adorns the fortress of Guaita, the first defensive tower in San Marino, built in
the 10th century. on the edge of a cliff. This is one
of the most ancient fortifications, used to protect the country and as a refuge
for the population. After numerous reconstructions, the tower
acquired its modern look only in the 15th century. Until 1970,
Guaita housed a prison, and today it houses the historical exposition of San
Marino.
The national side of the 10 euro cents is
adorned with the Basilica of San Marino, dedicated to St. Marino is
the patron saint of the city and the state. His relics are kept in
the main altar. The construction of the temple was carried out in
the period from 1826 to 1838 under the leadership of the Bolognese architect
Antonio Serra (Antonio Serra). The building is made in the
neoclassical style, and the facade is created in the form of a portico with
columns.
The 20 cent coin depicts St. Marino,
considered the founder of San Marino. In his hands he holds three
towers, symbols of the freedom of the country: Guaita, Chesta and Montale.
According to legend, St. Marino
(it. San Marino diacono, ?-366) was a bricklayer and at the end of the 3rd
century. settled near Monte Titano, fleeing the persecution of the
Roman authorities for the Christian faith. Over time, other
settlers joined Marino, forming the first Christian community. At
that time, Felicita, a noble Roman woman, owned the mountain. After
Marino cured her son of an illness, she donated the land to the community. Traditionally,
the founding date of the community is September 3, 301.
According to the legend of St. Marino
died in 366, but the community he created remained, and later received the name
San Marino, in honor of its founder. Today San Marino is the oldest
state in Europe.
The 50 cents depicts three fortress
towers on the tops of Mount Titano, which are considered a symbol of the
Republic of San Marino. They were built between the 10th and 15th
centuries. The first tower is Guaita, the second is Chesta and the
third is Montale. The same symbol is depicted on the state emblem
and the national flag.
The obverse of the 1 euro coin features
the coat of arms of San Marino. It depicts a blue coat of arms with
three green peaks, on which three towers rise: Guaita, Chesta and Montale. Each
fortress is crowned with an ostrich feather. On both sides, the
shield is surrounded by green branches: oak on the right and laurel on the left. Under
the shield is a ribbon with the inscription Libertas (Freedom),
Portico (from lat. porticus) - an
open gallery, usually in front of the entrance to the building. In
architecture, the portico has been used since antiquity symbolizing the centuries-old struggle
with the conquerors. The shield is crowned with a crown - as a
symbol of independence, not a monarchy.
The national side of the 2 euro coin is
adorned with the Government Palace. It was built between 1884 and
1894 by the Roman architect Francesco Azurri on the site of the Great House of
the Commune, a medieval building erected in the 14th century. Construction
work was carried out according to the cultural and architectural traditions of
San Marino. Local masons were involved in the construction, and the
stones were mined from the caves of Mount Titano.
In the Government Palace there are
administrative and government institutions: the Great and General Council, the
Congress, the XII Council, the offices of the captains regents, etc.
In addition, each coin has the name of
the SAN MARINO issuing country, the initials of the people who worked on the
coin: the artist Frantisek Chochola (letters ch) and the engraver Ettore Lorenzo
Frapiccini (born 1957) (abbreviation ELF), as well as the logo State Polygraphic
Institute and Mint of Italy (letter R).
