| Obverse description | An abstract modernist design occupies the field, featuring bold diagonal lines sweeping across the surface, with a stylized raised fist or torch motif visible in the upper portion, rendered in a dynamic graphic style. The legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO arcs across the lower central field in two lines, followed by the motto LIBERTAS and the date 1990 below. The engravers' signatures M. DOBRUCKA and GROSSI INC. appear in small text at the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
San Marino issued a themed annual coin program throughout the 1980s and 1990s, rotating subjects each year across its full lire denomination set. The 1990 series carried a social themes program, with individual denominations assigned distinct aspects of community life. By this point in the series, San Marino's collector-targeted lire issues were effectively never entering circulation — the republic's monetary arrangement with Italy meant Italian lire did the actual transactional work.
