To the right of the bust stands a tall flowering plant with detailed petals and leaves, emblematic of youth and vitality. The legend ANNO DELLA GIOVENTU curves along the upper periphery, flanked by two raised dots. The date 1985, flanked by raised dots, and the Rome mint mark R appear in the left field below the bust, while the denomination SCUDI 2 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
San Marino issued this piece as part of the United Nations' International Year of Youth in 1985, one of several small gold denominations the republic produced through the 1980s for the collector market rather than any circulation purpose. The country's prolific commemorative output during this decade was driven largely by revenue — a straightforward fiscal calculation for a microstate with no central bank and limited economic levers.
