AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Vatican’s new series of euro coins, the first issued during the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV, is directly inspired by the pontiff’s coat of arms, reproduced on the cover with a chalky finish and in relief on an ivory background. A deep blue tone highlights the inscriptions and the key graphical elements, evoking the colors of the two heraldic fields of the papal shield. This same color combination will come to the fore even more in the new design of the case that will accompany future numismatic issues. It is not merely an aesthetic choice, but a genuine homage and a direct reference to the new pontificate. The coins contained in the case feature an unprecedented alternation between the portrait of the Pope and the papal shield: the portrait appears on the higher-value denominations, while the shield appears on the lower denominations, creating a graphic concept never before seen in the history of Vatican coin series. The 2-euro coin also incorporates the distinctive elements of Pope Leo XIV’s coat of arms: the fleur-de-lis, symbol of purity and Marian devotion, and the heart aflame pierced by an arrow over an open book, which represent Augustine spirituality and the power of God’s Word to transform the human heart. Artist and sculptor: Daniela Longo. Engravers: Emanuele Ferretti (2 euros), Marta Bonifacio (1 euro), Antonio Vecchio (50 cents), Silvia Petrassi (20 cents), Annalisa Masini (10 cents), Valerio de Seta (5 cents), Emanuele Ferretti (2 cents), Antonio Vecchio (1 cent).
