San-Marin is dedicating its first commemorative €2 coin of 2020 to the 500th anniversary of the death of the painter and architect Raphael. The painter, born in 1483, worked on painting, paying as much attention to line as to colour in order to balance his work and create harmony. He influenced artists such as Delacroix and Ingres.

The piece depicts a portrait of a Madonna that he painted in his early years. This work was long attributed to his father, an official painter at the court of the Duke of Urbino, but new analyses confirm Raphael's work on this painting.

Edge: striated and inscribed with a 2 followed by a star, all repeated six times, alternating right and wrong sides.
