Sammarinese Lira coins
The Republic of San Marino, indipendent state since 1291, began to issue its own currency, the Lira, in 1864, due to of an agreement made two years earlier with the newly formed Kingdom of Italy, which minted of the coins in its own mints. The San Marino Lira was minted until 1938, when the mint of Rome suspended all types of issues except gold coins. This period (1864-1938) is commonly called Ancient Coinage.
In 1972, due to a new agreement with the Italian State, the production of coins resumed after decades, and continued until 2002, when San Marino adopted the Euro (although the Republic is not part of the European Union). This second period (1972-2001) is called Modern Coinage.
The San Marino Lira (and the equivalent Vatican Lira) had a 1:1 exchange ratio with the Italian Lira and the three currencies were legal tender in all three States.
