Product Description

This is the first couple of the new series of gold 20 and 50 Euro coins issued by the Vatican that are dedicated to the apostles' actions. The fifth bible book is called Acts and was almost certainly written by the Apostle Luke. The book of Acts actually tells the testimony of Christ that he allows the Apostles to continue on earth through the Holy Spirit. The Ascension of Christ is shown on the golden 20 Euro coin. It is remarkable that no nail-holes from His crucifixion are visible on His hands and feet. To the left and to the right is the value indication of 20 Euro. At the bottom of the coin is the country name Citta del Vaticano (Vatican City). On the golden 50 Euro coin Pentecost, the Ascension of Christ, is depicted. In the centre Mary is depicted with the twelve Apostles on her left and right. To the left and right of the coin is the value indication of 50 Euro and at the bottom of the coin is the country name Citta del Vaticano (Vatican City). The reverse of both coins is the same being an image of the Papal Coat of Arms of Pope Francis. Furthermore, the year 2018 is shown in Latin = MMXVIII. The coins are presented in an extremely luxurious package and both coins are delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
