| 背面描述 | A full-length figure of the explorer Amerigo Vespucci is depicted in Renaissance-era dress, standing and holding a celestial globe or armillary sphere aloft in his right hand while gazing upward toward a star constellation rendered in the upper left field. The denomination 5 EURO appears prominently in the central field, with the mint mark R below. The dates 1512·2012 commemorating the five-hundredth anniversary of Vespucci's death are inscribed to the right. A partial border of stars and geometric celestial motifs frames the upper portion of the design. The arc legend E VIDI QUATRO STELLE GODER PAREA IL CIEL DI LOR FIAMMELLE runs along the upper periphery, with AMERIGO VESPUCCI along the lower border and the engraver's signature U. PERNAZZA in the lower field. |

San Marino issued this piece as part of its ongoing collaboration with the Italian Mint, which has struck virtually all Sammarinese coinage since the republic lacks its own minting facility. Vespucci is the obvious honoree here given the 2012 quincentenary of his death in Seville — he died in February 1512, likely of malaria contracted during his Atlantic voyages.
It was Vespucci's published letters, particularly the "Mundus Novus" of 1503, that convinced European cartographers the landmass was a previously unknown continent rather than Asia's eastern edge — a conclusion Columbus never accepted.
