| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylised composition centred on the three towers of San Marino rendered in an abstract, geometric style, flanked by a laurel branch to the left and an oak branch to the right, symbolising peace and strength respectively. A sun is depicted rising between stylised clouds in the lower centre of the field. The legend REPUBLICA DI SAN MARINO appears along the upper periphery, accompanied by the engraver's signature O. ROSSI. |

| Additional information |
San Marino's coinage program has long relied on annual thematic issues to maintain collector interest, the microstate having no meaningful domestic circulation economy of its own. The rooster theme likely ties to the Chinese zodiac Year of the Snake... but that's 2025, not the rooster's year — which was 2017. Without confirmed documentation on what specifically prompted this issue, the thematic rationale here is unclear.
Wait — I must follow Rule 4. Let me not speculate. Let me rewrite cleanly.San Marino issues collector coins almost exclusively for the numismatic market — the republic's tiny population and eurozone membership mean domestic circulation is essentially nonexistent. KM#645 is among the more recent entries in a decades-long program of annual themed issues that the San Marino mint has used to sustain collector revenue since the country adopted the euro in 2002.
