A Renaissance helm, surrounded by the coats-of-arms of the nine castles of the Republic, forms this effective composition. It is the "Republican Community" offering to itself, as one sole body and at the same time as the expression of nine different municipalities, that Free Protection which is the fundamental choice of the San Marinese.
