San Marino 2022

San Marino

Date of Issue: 5th April 2022

two stamps (1.10 & 1.15 €)


Both stamps are issued in sheets of 12 stamps with decorated frame 


Those stamps depict the protagonists of the legend according to which one day, the pious man Marino, coming back from the field in the cave where he lived, saw a big bear near what was left of his faithful donkey, which had become food for the beast. Unafraid of the animal's size and danger, he began to talk to the bear, telling it that it should take the donkey's place and help him in the fields. And so he did.
