Product Description

This is the 2018 Vatican UNC set. The Vatican has been issuing Euro coins since the introduction of the Euro in the year 2002. If there is a Pope, it is shown on the coins of the Vatican. The current Pope, Francis I, has decided in his simplicity that his image no longer needs to be shown on the coins of the Vatican. His image was replaced by the Papal Coat of Arms since the year 2017. The Papal Coat of Arms is the crest that he has been using since 1991 when he took office as the Bishop of Argentina. At the top of the crest is a mitre with the two keys of Peter. In the centre one the letters IHS of Christ are shown with a cross above it. 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 the motto of the Pope is printed. This motto is "miserando atque eligendo" (called for by mercy). The 2018 Vatican UNC set comprises the full series of Euro coins from the Vatican, from the 1 cent 2018 up to and including the Normal 2 Euro 2018. The Papal coat of arms is depicted centrally on the coins, encircled by the country name æCitta del Vaticano. On the right-hand side of the coin is the year 2018. These coins are obviously legal tender.
