Product Description

Pope Franciscus has proclaimed the special 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 four coincards with postage stamps. In all of these coincards the 50-cent coin of the Vatican 2016 is packaged. Coincard 10 contains a postage stamp of 95 Eurocent in addition to the 50 cent coin. In coincard 11 a postage stamp of 1 Euro is packed, in Coincard 12 a postage stamp of EUR 2.30, and in Coincard 13 a postage stamp of no less than 3 Euro is packaged. The 50 cent coins in the coincards have the image of Pope Franciscus and this coin is of course legal tender. On the back of the Coincards is the logo of the Jubilee Year for Mercy, designed by the Slovenian artist Yvu Ivan Rupnik. The logo shows a Christ figure with cross wounds carrying a merciful man. Striking is 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).
