The obverse of the coin depicts the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus, a detail of the painting "Virgin and Child Saint Sebastian and Saint John the Baptist" by Perugino, kept in the Uffizi Galleries (Florence). The inscription PERUGINO, the dates 1523 and 2023 and at the bottom the letter R identifying the Mint of Rome complete the coin on the left; on the right around the inscription SAN MARINO and below the initials of the author Maria Angela Cassol MAC. Around the twelve stars of the European Union.
