Bimetallic coins of San Marino.

As we're know, Republic of San Marino is a very small European country. It is situated in the center of Italy. Until the 2002 San Marino had an own currency - lira of the San Marino Republic. Since the 2002 euro is a currency of San Marino. Coins of that small country were minted in Italy (Rome Mint).
I want to share my small collection of a bimetallic pre-euro coins of San Marino. It's a very pretty nice coins, I think.:smile
