Vatican Coincard 1 Euro 2023 Number 2

2023 Vatican 1 Euro Coincard Number 2. The Vatican has issued a Coincard containing a 1 Euro coin of the year 2023. This is the second in 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 should no longer be visible on the coins of the Vatican. From 2017 it was decided to depict the Papal coat of arms on the coins of the Vatican. The papal crest is a coat of arms based on a shield that he has used since 1991, when he took office as bishop of Argentina. At the top of the coat of arms is a mitre with the 2 keys of Peter. In the centre are the letters IHS surmounted by a cross. Below that 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 coincard where Pope Francis is depicted on the front. You can also see the name of this official coincard - No. 2 of the year 2023. On the back of the coincard is, among other things, the technical data of the coin and the coincard.
