| Additional information |
San Marino issued pattern coinage sporadically during the interwar years, typically in coordination with the Italian state under the terms of their customs union agreement — Rome retained effective authority over what San Marino could actually circulate. The 1931 Prova pieces were never approved for general release, leaving surviving examples almost exclusively in institutional or specialist hands.
KM#Pr3 is among the scarcest of the 1931 pattern group.
