| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold central design depicting two clasped hands in a handshake, symbolizing international accord and disarmament, with an olive branch held between the joined hands, evoking themes of peace and cooperation. Behind the handshake, a stylized globe formed by meridian and latitude lines fills the field as a background motif. The denomination 2 SCUDI is rendered in large decorative lettering across the upper portion of the field, incorporating artistic interlocking letterforms. The date 1988 appears to the right of the olive branch, and the Rome Mint mark R is visible at the lower left of the field. |

| Additional information |
San Marino's 1988 gold issue was struck as part of the republic's ongoing annual commemorative program, which had been running since the early 1970s and consistently attracted collector interest disproportionate to its tiny mintage figures. The disarmament theme reflected the broader late-Cold War political climate — San Marino had long cultivated a pacifist identity, and the subject aligned with concurrent UN disarmament discussions of the period.
Fr#44 confirms this as catalogued by Friedberg in the gold coinage sequence, struck at the San Marino state mint under Italian technical assistance.
