San Marino issued this coin as part of its long-running annual thematic series, which the republic used deliberately to attract collector revenue — a fiscally shrewd strategy for a microstate with no central bank of its own. The 1986 theme addressed the rapid computerization of European workplaces, a subject most governments were far too conservative to put on circulating coinage. The bimetallic format itself was relatively new to San Marino at this point, adopted partly to deter counterfeiting of the higher-denomination pieces.
