Depicts a portrait of Dante, taken from a fresco by Botticelli. At the right of the portrait, the inscription DANTE on a vertical axis. At the right of the inner centre, the name of the issuing country SAN MARINO in a semi-circle. Between these two inscriptions, the mint mark R, the years 1265 and 2015 and the initials of the artist AM. The lettering style used in identifying the nation and the coin's subject was inspired by lettering in the first copies of the Divina Commedia (Dante's Divine Comedy).

The outer ring contains the twelve stars of the European Union.

Engraver: Annalisa Masini

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “O” in “EURO.”

The sequence "2 ★" repeated six times alternately upright and inverted
