500th anniversary of the death of Bramante Lazzari delle Penne di San Marino
The coin depicts Bramante’s portrait, and part of Tempietto
(Italian: ‘small temple’), which is a small commemorative tomb built by Donato
Bramante, possibly as early as 1502, in the courtyard of San Pietro in Montorio
and considered a masterpiece of the High Renaissance Italian architecture. The
inscription ‘BRAMANTE LAZZARI DELLE PENNE DI SAN MARINO’ surrounds almost
completely the design. At the left and right the years ‘1514’ and ‘2014’,
respectively. At the bottom the initials of the artist ‘MCC’ (Maria Carmela
Colaneri) and the mint mark. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the
European Union.
