The San Marino 2 euro standard circulation coin features the iconic Government Palace, known as the Palazzo Pubblico, on its national side. Located in the heart of the Republic, this neo-Gothic structure serves as the seat of the Captains Regent and the Great and General Council, symbolising the nation's enduring sovereignty and its long-standing democratic traditions. The design captures the architectural dignity of the building, which was inaugurated in 1894 and remains the focal point of Sammarinese political life. Surrounding the central motif are the twelve stars of the European Union, integrated with the name of the country and the year of issue. This standard issue was minted in 2010 with a total mintage of 178,000 pieces.
