The San Marino 2010 2 euro commemorative coin honours the life and artistic legacy of the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. On the national side, the design features a detail from his celebrated masterpiece, The Birth of Venus, specifically focusing on the figure of Venus. This choice reflects the profound influence of Italian art history on the cultural heritage of the region. By depicting one of the most recognisable images in Western art, the coin celebrates the enduring impact of the Florentine master whose works remain central to European aesthetic identity. The reverse side follows the standard European map design common to the denomination. This commemorative issue was released in 2010.
