Identification note: Exact KM catalog number and mint/mark not confirmed from photos; likely Rome Mint but not asserted. | Attributes visible match the FAO 10 Lire circulation type: obverse legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO with the three towers and date 1974; reverse with large locust/grasshopper, FAO above, and value L.10 below; aluminum color/finish and plain edge align with the 10 Lire flan (≈23.3 mm, ≈1.6 g). This firmly identifies the general KM type issued 1972–1974. What remains unverified is the exact KM catalog number (and any minor variety or mintmark notation) from the Krause listings; images do not provide a catalog reference mark, and I do not have the specific KM index at hand. Please confirm the precise KM number in the Standard Catalog of World Coins under San Marino 10 Lire, FAO, aluminum, 1972–1974.
