| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the three towers of San Marino — Guaita, Cesta, and Montale — rising from their rocky promontory on Mount Titano, rendered in high relief against a lightly striated field. A figure atop the central tower holds aloft a torch or feathered plume, symbolising the republic's enduring sovereignty. The denomination '2 SCUDI' appears in the left field, with the date '1978' inscribed below along the left margin. The circular legend 'REPUBBLICA DI S. MARINO' runs along the right and lower periphery in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an allegorical female bust representing Liberty (Libertà), facing three-quarters to the right, her long flowing hair dramatically windswept across the field. Her right hand is raised beside her face in an expressive gesture, lending the composition a sense of dynamism and artistic modernism. The legend 'LIBERTÀ' is inscribed vertically along the left inner border. The engravers' names 'JORIO VIVARELLI' appear in small capitals along the lower reverse field, serving as the artists' signature. |
