Additional information

San Marino issued this piece to commemorate Myles Amyn's gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics — a remarkable result for a microstate of roughly 34,000 people competing against nations with professional athletic infrastructure. It was San Marino's first Olympic gold medal in the country's history, and the celebration was considerable enough to prompt multiple numismatic releases.
