 The coin is issued on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the institution of the Equestrian Order of Saint Agatha. The Order, conferred by the Magisterium of Saint Agatha and presided over by the Captains Regent, has honored, from its origin to the present day, illustrious and authoritative personalities in the world of politics, science and international culture.
 Dedicated to the co-protector of the Republic, it was created by decree on June 5, 1923 as an order of chivalry to honor foreign citizens who have rendered positive charitable and other services, for exceptional civil or military services to the Republic or for humanitarian, artistic, political or sporting merits.
 The Equestrian Order provides for five honorary ranks: Knight Grand Cross, Knight Grand Officer, Commander, Knight Officer and Knight.
 The decoration consists of a white-enameled cross pattée, surrounded by a laurel wreath; in the center, a shield with the effigy of Saint Agatha with the epigraph “Sant'Agata Protettrice”, in the circle; on the reverse, the coat of arms of San Marino with the inscription “Bene Merenti”.
 Among the personalities honored are, among others, Giulio Andreotti, Francesco Cossiga, Rite Levi Montalcini and Ban Ki-moon.
