| Additional information |
San Marino's commemorative program has long served the country's primary revenue stream — the republic mints no circulating coinage for everyday use and relies heavily on collector sales. This 2020 piece was issued in conjunction with World Oceans Day, the UN-recognized observance held annually on June 8th, a date formalized by the General Assembly in 2008 following years of advocacy stemming from the original 1992 Rio Earth Summit proposal.
KM#594 was struck at the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome, which has produced San Marino's coinage under longstanding arrangement.
