AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and exclusive official Vatican City divisional series - Year MMV (2005), issued on the occasion of the Vacant See following the death of Pope John Paul II and before the election of Pope Benedict XVI.
This set has enormous historical and numismatic significance, as the coins depict on the obverse the coat of arms of the Cardinal Camerlengo (Eduardo Martínez Somalo) and the inscription "SEDE VACANTE MMV", and it is the only Euro series to have this feature for that year (as visible in 20260618_093133.jpg and 20260618_093130.jpg).
The set is complete, authentic, and comprises 8 coins in Proof condition (FDC) perfectly preserved inside the protective blister of the official folder.
Composition of the series:
1 euro cent, 2 euro cent, 5 euro cent
10 euro cent, 20 euro cent, 50 euro cent
1 euro (20260618_093122.jpg)
2 euro (20260618_093125.jpg)

Small defect on the top edge of the back of the folder as visible in the photo. Contains the historical descriptions in four languages.
