| Obverse description | At center, the crowned coat of arms of San Marino occupies the field, depicting the three towers of Monte Titano rising above a stepped base, flanked by ostrich feathers, surmounted by a closed crown. The circular legend REPVBBLICA DI SAN MARINO runs along the periphery in raised Latin characters, divided left and right of the shield. |

San Marino issued this piece as part of the FAO coinage program, a United Nations initiative that recruited small nations throughout the 1970s to mint low-denomination coins bearing agricultural themes in place of standard national issues. The program was largely symbolic — few of these coins reached the populations the campaign was nominally designed to serve — but it produced an unusually diverse body of mid-century small-state coinage across dozens of participating countries.
