Product Description

Pope Franciscus has proclaimed the extraordinary "Jubilee Year of Mercy". This jubilee year began on December 8, 2015 and ends on November 20, 2016. Due to this jubilee year, the Vatican has issued a special Coincard. This Coincard contains a 50-cent Euro coin from 2016. This coin is, of course, legal tender. On the Coincard is the logo of the Jubilee Year for Mercy, designed by the Slovenian artist Yvu Ivan Rupnik. The logo shows the Christ figure, with cross wounds, carried by a merciful man. In the background a cross and three ovals of differing blue colours are printed. It is striking that the right eye of the merciful man and the left eye of the figure of Christ intermingle. On the left side of the logo is the Latin text Misericordes Sicut Pater (Merciful like the Father).
