(Translation: Republic of San Marino)
Reverse description A highly detailed, naturalistically rendered honey bee occupies the majority of the reverse field, depicted in a three-quarter dorsal view with wings spread and legs extended, conveying a sense of dynamic movement. The abbreviation F A O is distributed across the upper field, with the letters flanking the bee's body, referencing the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The denomination L. 10 is inscribed in the lower right field. The engravers' names MINGUZZI MONASSI INC. appear along the lower left periphery in small incuse lettering. The composition reflects the FAO series theme of promoting agricultural awareness through coinage.
