| Additional information |
San Marino's 1972–1979 annual coinage sets were produced almost exclusively for the collector market, with circulation strikes effectively nonexistent in everyday commerce. The "Carpenter" designation refers to the artisan theme running through the republic's 1978 series, which highlighted traditional crafts as part of a broader program linking San Marino's numismatic output to cultural identity rather than monetary function. The sets sold well to European collectors throughout the decade.
