| Obverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the three historic towers of San Marino atop Monte Titano: La Guaita (left), La Cesta (centre), and Il Montale (right), rendered in fine relief against a textured field. The legend SAN MARINO arcs across the upper portion of the coin, with the mint mark R positioned below it at centre. The date of issue appears vertically along the left side of the inner circle. Twelve five-pointed stars encircle the design along the outer border, representing the European Union, with the engravers' initials ELF INC. inscribed in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
San Marino issues its euro coinage under a formal agreement with the European Union, not as an EU member, but as a microstate enclave within Italy granted minting rights by treaty. Its annual production runs are tiny — legal tender throughout the eurozone but almost never spent there, since collectors absorb the entire output almost immediately upon release.
The 2002–2007 "first map" designation refers to the pre-2007 reverse design used across the eurozone before the map of Europe was redrawn to include new member states.
