| Obverse description | Central device depicts the three towers of Mount Titano — the iconic fortresses of San Marino — rising above stylized clouds, with crossed branches or fasces flanking the composition. The denomination L.500 is prominently inscribed in the lower central field, with the engraver's signature MONASSI INC. appearing below the central device. The date 1978 is positioned at the bottom of the field. The circumferential legend REPVBBLICA DI SAN MARINO runs around the upper and lateral periphery in raised Latin lettering. |

| Reverse description | A lively high-relief scene commemorating International Workers' Day (May Day) fills the entire field, depicting a dense crowd of marching workers and citizens, some carrying bicycles in the foreground. Several participants hold banners and flags aloft, with the central banner bearing the inscribed legend 1° MAGGIO FESTA DEI LAVORATORI. The composition conveys a dynamic sense of collective movement, rendered in a painterly, deeply sculptural style characteristic of Monassi's medallic work. No border legend is present; the design extends to the coin's rim. |
