2021–2023 Vatican €20 15-gm Copper Art & Faith Series 3-pc Set BU

Beautiful Coins From The Vatican’s Art And Faith Series

“Even beyond its typically religious expressions, true art has a close affinity with the world of faith, so that, even in situations where culture and the Church are far apart, art remains a kind of bridge to religious experience.”
—Pope John Paul II in a letter written to Artists, 1999

The combination of art and religious faith is the basis of beautiful many masterpieces that have graced humankind down through the centuries, and nowhere is this theme more beautifully captured than in the countless masterpieces preserved in Vatican City. It is through these works of art that the popes over the centuries have communicated and accomplished their spiritual mission. To pay tribute to these fabulous works, Vatican City debuted its “Art and Faith” series in 2020 and here you can secure a three-piece set of the coins released from 2021 to 2023.

• 2021 SAINT PETER STATUE—THE WORLD’S BEST-DRESSED STATUE – The Feast of Saint Peter is held each year on June 29th and nowhere is that celebration more dramatic than at Vatican City where a 700-year-old statue of the beloved apostle and first bishop of Rome is displayed to a worshipful public. But the display doesn’t end there. The monumental bronze statue gets an annual fashion makeover and is clothed with an amice, alb, tiara, stole, red cope, and a ring so that it almost seems as if it has come to life. Millions upon millions of pilgrims have come to visit the statue since the 13th Century—so many that the foot of the statue has literally been worn thin due to it being touched and kissed by reverential pilgrims praying at the literal foot of Saint Peter! That famous statue is depicted on this 2021-dated coin wearing the papal vestments as it would be seen on the Feast of Saint Peter. The mintage for the 2021 Vatican €20 15-Gram Copper Saint Peter Statue Coin was set at just 26,500 for worldwide release.
• 2022 ST. PETER’S BASILICA—ONE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S HOLIEST TEMPLES – Saint Peter’s Basilica is one of the Catholic Church’s holiest temples. Located in Vatican City, work began on the massive structure in 1506 and was not completed until 1615. It would be another 11 years before St Peter's Basilica was finally consecrated on November 18, 1626 by Pope Urban VIII. In the intervening 126 years, the Basilica featured an all-star line-up of renaissance artists and architects including Donato Bramante, Maderno, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. And, while Basilica is dedicated to Saint Peter, the “Prince of the Apostles” is nowhere to be found among the 13 colossal statues that stand atop the grand façade. At the center stands a nearly 20-foot-high statue of Christ the Redeemer. He is flanked by equally colossal statues of St. Thaddeus, St. Matthew, St. Philip, St. Thomas, St. James the Great, and St. John the Baptist on one side and St. Andrew, St. John the Evangelist, St. James the Less, St. Bartholomew, St. Simon, and St. Matthias on the other. Today, the Basilica’s impressive dome not only continues to dominate the skyline of Rome and is depicted her eon this 2022-dated coin that shows the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica along with two smaller domes and the 13 balustrade statues. The mintage for the 2022 Vatican €20 15-Gram Copper St. Peter’s Basilica Coin was set at just 15,000 for worldwide release.
• 2023 CREATION OF ADAM—ONE THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS PIECES OF ART – Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam is the most famous fresco in the Sistine Chapel and one of the most famous pieces in modern art. Acknowledged as one of the most complex and difficult paintings to make, it took Michelangelo just 16 days to complete that portion of the ceiling located in the Sistine Chapel inside of what is now the Vatican Museums. That ceiling is a living tableau that features some of Michelangelo's most impressive works, including 343 figures painted over 500 square meters. The famous painting appears on this 2023-dated coin that recreates the image of a reclining Adam reaching his hand towards the outstretched hand of God, their fingers nearly touching, is a masterpiece that captures the spark of life. The mintage for the 2023 Vatican €20 15-Gram Copper Creation of Adam Coin was set at just 15,000 for worldwide release.
