| Reverse description | A half-length frontal figure of Saint Marinus, the legendary founder of San Marino, is depicted in episcopal vestments, holding a miniature representation of the three towers and fortified hills of San Marino in his raised left hand, while his right hand is extended in a gesture of blessing. The commemorative legend arcs around the figure, referencing 1700 years of the republic's existence at the heart of Europe, and the denomination L.10000 is inscribed along with the engravers' names R PERNAZZA INC. and C. CANAPICCHI. |

San Marino's year-2000 commemorative program was unusually ambitious — the republic issued multiple silver pieces tied to the millennial theme, and this 10,000 lire was among the final silver lire-denominated issues before San Marino adopted the euro alongside Italy in 2002, permanently retiring the lire series it had maintained since 1972.
