Algeria 50 Dinars 2022 - Hassiba Ben Bouali (1938-1957)

New bimetallic circulating commemorative:



"Hassiba Ben Bouali (1938-1957)



Hassiba Ben Bouali (18 January 1938 – 9 October 1957) was a leader and fighter in the Algerian independence war (1954–62). She was born in El-Asnam (Today, Chlef), Algeria. Her parents moved to Algiers in 1947, where she studied at the Lycée Delacroix (high-school). She joined the Scout Movement, and her travels made her aware of the conditions of the Algerian people under the colonial government. This motivated her to join the Union générale des étudiants musulmans algériens (General Union of Algerian Muslim Students) in 1954, at the age of 16. She participated in the nationalist struggle until her death. In the 1957 Battle of Algiers, she and three companions including Ali Ammar (aka Ali La Pointe) were killed when French forces bombed their hideout in the Casbah.

San Marino 2 euro 2022 - 200 years since the death of Antonio Canova

New bimetallic commemorative type:



"200 years since the death of Antonio Canova"



Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. Often regarded as the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, his sculpture was inspired by the Baroque and the classical revival, and has been characterised as having avoided the melodramatics of the former, and the cold artificiality of the latter.
