San Marino issued this piece as part of its long-running program of commemorative gold coinage, timed to the United Nations' International Year of Youth in 1985. The republic had by this point become one of the more prolific issuers of collector-oriented gold in Europe — a revenue strategy that drew on its unusual sovereign status within Italian territory and its access to the Italian mint at Rome.
Friedberg 34 confirms the series attribution. Mintage figures for San Marino commemoratives of this period were typically kept low by design, rarely exceeding a few thousand pieces across all denominations in a given year.
