Opschrift voorzijde REPUBBLICA DI SAN·MARINO LIBERTAS
Beschrijving keerzijde The aluminium bronze centre features an expressionist allegorical composition by sculptor Agenore Fabbri, depicting three horse-like figures rearing upward and emitting radiation or toxic breath downward upon two prostrate human figures below, symbolising the existential threat of nuclear war and the inescapable apocalyptic fate imposed upon humanity. The imagery is rendered in a bold, expressive sculptural style consistent with Fabbri's artistic idiom. The stainless steel outer ring carries the date 1983 at the top and the denomination 500 at the bottom, with the engraver's signature A.FABBRI and the Rome mint mark R in the legend.

Aanvullende informatie

San Marino issued this piece at the height of NATO's 1983 Euromissile crisis, when the deployment of Pershing II and cruise missiles across Western Europe triggered mass protests and genuine public fear of nuclear escalation. The small republic had a long tradition of issuing thematic coinage that smaller nations with limited diplomatic leverage used as a form of political speech — and 1983 gave them plenty to say.
