The 2021 San Marino 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 550th anniversary of the birth of the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The national side features a portrait of the artist, inspired by his famous self-portrait painted in 1498. As a master of painting, printmaking, and theoretical writing, Dürer remains a pivotal figure in European art history, known for his technical precision and profound influence on the Northern Renaissance. His inclusion on this San Marino issue reflects the country's long-standing tradition of celebrating significant cultural milestones and artistic heritage through its numismatic programme. The design incorporates the artist's name and the years 1471 and 2021 to commemorate this historic birth. This coin was issued in 2021.
