Product Description

This is the 2020 Vatican Proof set & 20 Euro Silver. Nine coins are packed in this set, these are the complete series of 2020 Vatican Euro coins and, as an extra, the 2020 Silver 20 Euro coin. From the introduction of the Euro in 2002, the Pope has been depicted on the Euro coins of the Vatican. The current Pope Francis I has decided, in his simplicity, that his image no longer needs to be on the coins of the Vatican. As of 2017 his image has been replaced by the Papal Coat of Arms. This Coat of Arms is a crest 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 two keys of Peter. Centred in the shield are the letters IHS of Christ with a cross above. Furthermore, three black nails are also shown. The star refers to Mary and the grass refers to Joseph. At the bottom of the coat of arms is the Pope's motto which is 'miserando atque eligendo' (called out / by mercy). This image is shown on all of the Vatican Euro coins. Furthermore, the country name 'Citta del Vaticano' is shown on the coins. The silver 20 Euro coin is a work by Patrizio Daniele on which Pope Francis is depicted addressing young people. It is Christ who guides young people and illuminates their path. He miraculously brings youth to our world full of life.
