The Italy 2016 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 550th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance master Donatello. The national side features a detail from the bronze statue of David, one of the artist's most celebrated works, which is currently housed in the Bargello Museum in Florence. By highlighting this iconic sculpture, the design pays tribute to Donatello’s profound influence on the evolution of Western art and his role in pioneering the revival of classical motifs during the Italian Renaissance. The composition serves as a reminder of Italy's rich cultural heritage and its enduring contribution to the global artistic canon. This coin was issued in 2016 with a mintage of 1,500,000 pieces.
