		San Marino	550th anniversary of the death of Donatello	20001 20002
	Description : Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (∼1386‐1466), called Donatello, was an Italian sculptor of the Florentine Renaissance. The coin, designed by Matt Bonaccorsi, shows the face of the bronze statue of David created around 1440 by the Italian sculptor of the Florentine Renaissance for Cosimo de' Medici. The latter is youthful, radiating harmonious grace and playful lightness, depicted wearing a laurel‐crowned hat and playfully placing his foot on the head of Goliath. It is the earliest free‐standing nude figure since antiquity, now in the Bargello Museum in Florence. On the right of the pill, from top to bottom, are the letter "R" the mint mark of the Italian mint Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome, "SAN MARINO", "DONATELLO", the dates "1466-2016" and the initials "MB" of the designer.
