| Obverse description | The field displays the stylized arms of San Marino — comprising the three towers of Monte Titano surmounted by an ostrich feather — rendered in low relief to the upper right. To the left, the five interlocked Olympic rings are prominently featured in the center of the field. The upper legend reads XXII OLIMPIADE / 1980 in two lines, with the issuer legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO arranged in two lines across the lower center field. The denomination L. 100 appears in large numerals at the bottom, with the engraver's name CROCETTI inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic, sculptural depiction of a nude male archer fills the entire field, rendered in a bold, modernist style characteristic of Crocetti's work. The figure is shown in a crouching stance, leaning forward with his body nearly horizontal as he draws a longbow taut to the right. The arrow is depicted at full draw, with the bowstring pulled back to the archer's cheek, conveying great tension and athleticism. The composition occupies virtually the full coin surface with no legend or inscription, allowing the powerful figural design to dominate. The engraver's signature CROCETTI is incused along the lower rim. |
