		Italy	550 years since the death of Donatello	20001 20002
	Description : The coin designed by Claudia Momoni for the 550th anniversary of the death of the Italian sculptor of the Florentine Renaissance Donatello (∼1386‐1466) shows in profile the face of the bronze statue of David created around 1440 for Cosimo de' Medici, the earliest free‐standing nude figure since antiquity, today in the Bargello Museum in Florence. David is youthful, radiating harmonious grace and playful lightness, depicted wearing a laurel‐crowned hat and playfully placing his foot on the head of Goliath. The inscription "DONATELLO" is at the bottom, his year of death "1466" and the year of issue "2016" are shown in two lines on the left, with the country abbreviation "RI" (Repubblica Italiana, Italian Republic) above them. At the top is the "R" the mint mark of the Italian mint Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome and on the right the designer's signet "C.M.".
