| Reverse description | A full-length frontal figure of Saint Marinus, patron and founder of the republic, stands in the central field clad in long ecclesiastical robes and holding a model of a tower in his lowered right hand and a square in his left, attributes emblematic of his identity as stonemason and founder. The denomination L 10 flanks the saint to left and right respectively in large numerals. The circular legend IN LIBERTA / TE CONSTIT runs around the periphery, separated by a dotted border, with the engraver's signature FUCCI / A.M. inscribed in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
San Marino's gold coinage of the 1920s was struck under a monetary convention with Italy, which obligated the republic to align its issues with the Italian lira system. The 1925 10 Lire sits at the tail end of that arrangement, with mintages so constrained by the tiny republic's treaty obligations that surviving examples in any condition are scarce. Total production across the gold series of this period rarely exceeded a few thousand pieces per denomination.
Struck at Rome. The .900 fineness matches the contemporary Italian standard precisely.
