The 2003 San Marino 2 euro coin features the official coat of arms of the Republic of San Marino on its national side. This heraldic emblem depicts three towers, each crowned with a weather vane in the form of a plume, representing the three peaks of Monte Titano upon which the nation was founded. These towers are traditionally associated with the fortresses of Guaita, Cesta, and Montale, which have historically protected the independence of the world's oldest republic. Surrounding the shield are two laurel branches, symbolizing peace and the enduring sovereignty of the state. The design serves as a constant reminder of the country's unique historical identity and its long-standing tradition of liberty. This standard issue coin was minted in 2003 with a mintage of 70,000 pieces.
