San Marino began issuing gold scudi in 1974 under a coinage agreement with Italy, producing small annual sets primarily aimed at the collector market rather than circulation.

Fr#5 in the Friedberg gold reference confirms its standing as a legitimate bullion-format issue from a recognized sovereign state, however small.
