Reverse description The crowned coat of arms of San Marino occupies the central field, depicting the three towers of Monte Titano on a rocky outcrop within a shield. Below the shield, a horizontal fasces serves as a base element, reflecting the Fascist-era iconography of the period. The denomination L. 10 is inscribed within the lower portion of the shield. The circular legend REPVBBLICA DI S. MARINO surrounds the design along the border, with the mint mark R appearing at the lower rim.

Additional information

San Marino's 1932 coinage program was produced under the terms of its monetary convention with Italy, which granted the republic the right to strike limited quantities of its own coins despite having no independent central bank. The "Prova" designation — Italian for trial or proof — indicates this piece was struck as a presentation or test striking, almost certainly never intended for circulation. Surviving examples are vanishingly rare; KM#Pr6 appears in only a handful of documented collections.
