Vatican Coincard 1 Euro 2022 No 1

Vatican 1 Euro 2022 Coincard No 1. Since this year the Vatican is issuing a Coincard containing a Vatican 1 Euro coin. The Coincard of the year 2022 is number 1 of this series of coincards. The special thing about this coincard is that there is no longer an image of the Pope on the coin. Pope Francis has decided, in his simplicity, that his image need no longer be visible on the coins of the Vatican. From 2017 the Papal coat of arms has been depicted on the coins of the Vatican. This crest is based on a shield that he has been using since 1991 when he took office as Bishop in Argentina. At the top of the coat of arms is a mitre with the two keys of Peter. Centrally on the crest are the letters IHS with a cross above them. Below it are three black nails. The star refers to Mary and the grass refers to Joseph. At the bottom of the coin is the Pope's motto - which is 'miserando atque eligendo' (chosen by grace). The coin is mounted in a coin card with an image of Pope Francis on the front, together with the name of this official coincard 'No 1 of the year 2022'. On the back of the coincard, among other things, is the technical data of the coin and the coincard.
