| Obverse description | Central device depicting the three towers of San Marino (Guaita, Cesta, and Montale) rendered in a stylised, modernist artistic style, surmounted by a radiant crown motif. Flanking the towers are stylised plant sprigs and a small bird in the lower field. The circular legend REPVBBLICA DI SAN MARINO runs along the upper periphery, with the word LIBERTAS inscribed beneath the towers in the exergue area. The engraver's initial appears at the base. |

| Additional information |
San Marino issued a series of themed coinage throughout the 1980s under its annual commemorative program, each year dedicating the full circulation set to a single social or political cause. The 1985 set took drug prevention as its theme, aligning with a broader European public health push during a decade when heroin addiction had reached crisis levels across Italy and its neighbors — a particularly immediate concern given San Marino's geographic enclosure within Italian territory.
