San Marino's commemorative silver program has long served as a vehicle for celebrating Italian cultural figures that the Republic has no direct historical claim to — Canova being a case in point. Born in Possagno in the Veneto in 1757, Canova spent his most productive decades in Rome and became the dominant figure of Neoclassical sculpture across Europe, with Napoleon among his patrons and the papacy among his clients for the recovery of art looted by French forces.
The 2006 issue falls within a broader San Marino series honoring Italian artists, each struck to the same .925 silver specification.
