| Additional information |
San Marino issues commemorative coins with unusual regularity for a microstate — the republic has no domestic monetary circulation to speak of, and its numismatic program is effectively its mint's primary output. This 2016 piece marks the UN's International Mother Earth Day, a designation established by General Assembly resolution in 2009 at the initiative of Bolivia, whose government had recently enshrined the legal rights of nature in its constitution.
