Additional information

San Marino's 1977 coinage program was part of a broader annual series issued primarily for collectors, with each year's set built around a declared thematic focus. The 1977 set addressed public health and environmental concerns, reflecting the WHO-driven campaigns of the mid-1970s that pushed aerial pesticide application as a tool against malaria vectors and agricultural pests across southern Europe.

Acmonital — the stainless steel alloy developed by Falck and adopted by Italy for its lire coinage — was used here by agreement, San Marino's issues effectively shadowing Italian monetary specifications of the period.
