It's my pleasure to present a complete 19th century type set from San Marino that forum members may not be overly familiar with.
KM1 5 centesimi copper 1894-R mintage 600,000
KM2 10 centesimi copper 1894-R mintage 150,000
KM3 50 centesimi .8350 silver 1898-R mintage 40,000
The 50 centesimi is imaged smaller than the other coins in this set to maintain detail due to my lack of a macro lens.
KM4 1 lira .8350 silver 1898-R mintage 20,000
KM5 2 lire .8350 silver 1898-R mintage 10,000
KM6 5 lire .9000 silver 1898-R mintage 18,000
My personal preferences in this set would be the two coppers, followed by the 5 lire, and then the other silver pieces, which (while not bad) toned a little unattractively.

One question is it just me or has anyone else noticed the interesting contradiction in the designs of these coins? Republic of San Marino... and they they've all got crowns on!
I like the 5 lire the most!
Another interesting fact concerning San Marino is that there is a bust of Abraham Lincoln on display in the Capital, who in 1861 accepted the honorary citizenship of the republic.

Actually, the key was finding it intact. My dealer said this was the first complete one he had ever seen.

Nice job with the imaging, too.
