| Obverse description | The three towers of San Marino — the Guaita, Cesta, and Montale — are depicted rising from the rocky ridges of Monte Titano at the centre of the field, rendered in a bold, stylised manner. The battlemented towers, each surmounted by a pennant, are set against a plain field with the mountain's characteristic stepped terrain in the lower portion. The circular legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO curves around the upper periphery, while the date 1976 appears in the lower field. The engraver's signature PIOLI is visible in the lower right of the design. |

| Reverse description | An abstract, modernist allegorical composition representing Justice occupies the central field. A balance scale is depicted in stylised form, with its beam and suspended pans rendered geometrically; a rounded form interpreted as a shield or orb rests at the centre between the two pans. Two rectangular pillar-like elements flank the composition on either side, contributing to the architectural quality of the design. The denomination L 50 appears in the lower field beneath the composition, and the engraver's signature MOLTENI is visible in the lower right. The overall artistic treatment is characteristic of the contemporary Italian commemorative coinage style of the 1970s. |
