Vatican 5 Euro 2023 'Lorenzo Milani'

2023 Vatican 5 Euro coin 'Don Lorenzo Milani'. The Vatican has issued a special 5 Euro coin with the theme of Don Lorenzo Milani. Don Lorenzo Milani was born in Florence in the year 1923. After studying at the Brera Academy, Don Lorenzo Milani converted from agnosticism to Catholicism. In 1947 he was ordained a priest and in 1954 he started a school for the youth and farming communities of the area. The school was at the forefront of its time and was open all year round. It offered foreign languages as well as study and work trips abroad. It was therefore no wonder that the school's motto 'I Care' was written on the walls of the school. On the face of the coin is an image of Don Lorenzo Milani with a group of young people in front of him. On the right side of the coin the small village Barbiana is depicted. Furthermore, his name is shown along with the years 1923 and 2023. Centred on the reverse of the coin the Papal Coat of Arms is depicted. The motto of the Pope, Miserande Atque Elegendo (Chosen by Grace), is also displayed. The coin is presented in a beautiful case and is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
