San Marino 100-LIRE (KM70)

Fish

That fish has been filleted! My best translation efforts of the reverse legend gives me "the creature sinks in the poisoned waters." It was brought to my attention that in 1977 San Marino's circulating commemorative coins had the theme "Protection of Nature" and this coin certainly seems to fit that theme. The engraving is by sculptor Jorio Vivarell.
