Obverse description The three towers of San Marino — Guaita, Cesta, and Montale — set upon the rocky ridgeline of Monte Titano, depicted in a stylized relief composition occupying the central field. The circular legend reads REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO along the upper periphery, with the date 1976 positioned at the base of the design. Engravers' signatures MOLTENI and PIOLI INC. appear in the lower field flanking the date.

Additional information

San Marino issued a new coin series in 1976 tied to its hosting of a UNESCO-affiliated social theme program — each denomination that year carried a distinct subject related to the welfare of children, part of a broader international push coinciding with UN declarations of the era. The republic's small annual mintage figures for this period mean most pieces entered collector sets rather than circulation, which accounts for the near-universal uncirculated condition in which they typically surface.
