| Obverse description | Bust of Saint Marinus facing three-quarters right, depicted as a bearded stonemason with flowing hair, holding the three-towered fortress of San Marino — the emblem of the republic — in his left arm. The figure is rendered in high relief with a bold, sculptural style. The circular legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO runs along the upper periphery, while the word LIBERTAS appears prominently along the lower field. |
