Vatican 5 and 10 Euro 2017 Silver

The theme of the silver 2017 Vatican 5 Euro is the 50th World Peace Day that took place on September 21, 2017. The theme of this day was to prevent injustice and human violence. This is reflected in the image on the face of the coin. Here we see the moment Jesus is arrested on the Mount of Olives and Peter wants to protect him by cutting down the slave Malchus with his sword. Jesus urges Peter to return his sword to its scabbard. At the top of the coin is the value of 5 Euro and at the bottom of the coin the country name æCitta del VaticanoÆ. On the reverse of the coin the papal coat of arms, with the outline of the church of St. Peter, are represented. In the outer ring of the coin is the text æFranciscus PP anno Domini MMXVIIÆ. The theme of the 2017 Vatican silver 10 Euro coin is the 25th world sick day. The world sick day is held in a different country on February 11th. This day was set by the then Pope John Paul II who himself was ill. February 11 is not a coincidence, it's the date that Bernadette saw Ma ry in Lourdes. On the face of the coin a man who has a monster in hand is depicted. This monster symbolizes the diseases. Furthermore, Marina is seen with a rosary and a dove of peace. The value of 10 Euro is at the bottom of the coin and the country name "Citta del Vaticano" is in the top ring of the coin. On the reverse is the Papal coat of arms and logo with his motto æMiserando Atque EligendoÆ. At the bottom of the coin in Latin æMXXVIIÆ is the year 2017. The text æFranciscus Pont.Max.An.VÆ is also displayed. Both coins are presented in a luxury package and are supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
