This elegant 70-lire commemorative stamp from San Marino, issued in 1976, honors the Bicentennial of the United States (1776–1976). It depicts the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., rendered in fine architectural detail against a soft gray sky. The American flag is shown proudly flying, symbolizing friendship and shared democratic ideals between the world’s oldest and smallest republics. The upper right corner bears San Marino’s coat of arms with the three towers and the word “Libertas.” Printed by Courvoisier, this issue showcases the principality’s tradition of refined philatelic artistry.
