Description
2 Euro Commemorative Coin San Marino 2016 400th Anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare San Marino’s 2016 commemorative coin marks four centuries since William Shakespeare’s death. Shakespeare, who lived from 1564 to 1616, was an English poet, playwright and actor whose work became a defining part of English-language literature. The anniversary therefore honours not only a historical individual but also an enduring literary legacy that has shaped the cultural landscape far beyond Shakespeare’s own era. The dates 1616–2016 identify the commemorative occasion. The national side features a portrait of Shakespeare, accompanied by his name and the inscription naming San Marino. The design also includes the mint mark “R” and the artist’s initials “MB”. These elements present a clear visual tribute while retaining the identifying details associated with the coin’s production.
