| Obverse description | Central device depicts the three towers of San Marino — Guaita, Cesta, and Montale — atop Monte Titano, each crowned with an ostrich-feather plume, rendered in a stylised bas-relief. The date 1991 appears to the left of the towers in the field. The circular legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO arcs across the upper periphery, while the national motto LIBERTAS is inscribed along the lower border. |

San Marino's 1991 coinage program marked the 1600th anniversary of the republic's founding, with each denomination assigned a distinct constitutional theme. This piece addresses the Statutes of the Community — the medieval legal codes first formalized in 1600 that remain, in revised form, the operative constitution of the world's oldest surviving republic.
