The theme of the first special 2 Euro coin from The Vatican 2017 is the 1950th anniversary of the martyrdom of St Peter and St Paul. In the year 67 a.d. the apostles Peter and Paul died and were martyrd in Rome. Pope Franciscus marks this fact as the moment that the Church of Rome was founded. With the martyrdom of St Peter and St Paul they sealed their mission of faith and love. To commemorate this 1950th anniversary of their death the Vatican has issued this special 2 Euro coin. The face of the coin portrays an image of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. To the left of Peter are the keys of the kingdom of heaven To the right of Paul is a sword which indicates that Paul, before becoming a Christian, first persecuted the Christians. At the top of the coin is the country name of Citta del Vaticano (Vatican City). At the bottom of the coin is the text 1950 del Martirio dei Santi Pietro e Paolo (Martyrdom of St Peter and St Paul). To the left is the year 2017. The Quality of this special coin is Proof. A proof coin can not be compared to a coin in the quality UNC or BU. The coin is packaged in a beautiful luxury light yellow package and comes with a certificate.
