To celebrate the genius of Urbino, as Rafael Sanzio is known, on the five hundredth anniversary of his death, the artist Daniela Longo designed a commemorative 2-euro coin that reproduces and interprets the nostalgia for the beauty of Rafael's gaze, in the self-portrait present in the fresco "The School of Athens" and in the attitude of the two unforgettable angels that Urbino's depicted and inserted at the base of the Sistine Virgin. " "Make room for the great Raphael", these were the words with which Frederick Augustus III welcomed "The Sistine Madonna" in Dresden in 1757 and where it is still preserved today in the Gemälderie Alte Maister, considered one of the most beautiful works ever made. by the brilliant Italian Renaissance painter.

Above the angels appear the years of commemoration «1520» and «2020», while below the legend of the issuing country «CITTA 'DEL VATICANO», the Italian mint mark in Rome «R», as well as named after the designer Daniela Longo.
