Obverse description	The inner disc bears a detail from Albrecht Dürer's 1526 painting 'Madonna and Child with a Pear,' depicting the Virgin Mary in three-quarter view holding the Christ Child in her arms, a pear visible in her hand, rendered against a dark field that emphasises the figures' sculptural modelling. The composition faithfully reproduces Dürer's characteristic precision and naturalistic attention to detail, commemorating the 550th anniversary of the artist's birth. The legend 'SAN MARINO' arcs along the upper portion of the inner disc, while the inscription 'AD DÜRER' and 'VdS' appear in the field alongside the dual dates '1471 – 2021,' referencing the birth year and commemorative year. The mintmark 'R' for the Rome Mint is present in the design. The overall aesthetic reflects the Northern Renaissance draughtsmanship for which Dürer is celebrated.
