| Obverse description | The crowned arms of San Marino, depicting three towers on a shield, are centrally displayed within a decorative wreath composed of a laurel branch to the left and an oak branch to the right, tied at the base. The municipal crown surmounts the shield. The circular legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO arcs along the upper periphery, with the word LIBERTAS implied by the arms, and the date 1996 appears in the lower field flanked by the engravers' signatures BINO BINI to the left and PERNAZZA INC. to the right. |

| Additional information |
San Marino's endangered species series of the mid-1990s was part of a broader WWF-linked commemorative program that ran across multiple small European states simultaneously. This particular 1996 issue was struck at the Italian State Mint in Rome under the terms of the customs union agreement that has governed San Marino's coinage since 1862 — an arrangement that gives the republic the right to mint its own currency while remaining entirely dependent on Italian monetary infrastructure.
