2024 Vatican Annual 9-pc Proof Set w/Gold Commemorative

BIG Demand For Coins From The World’s Smallest Country

At only a fifth of a square mile in size, Vatican City is the world’s smallest country encompassing an area that’s about seven times smaller than New York City’s Central Park. But while it may be the world’s tiniest independent state, there’s nothing “small” about its coins—as evidenced by this nine-piece annual proof set struck in 2024 by the Italian State Mint.

Set Includes Special Gold Coin Calling For Peace In A Time Of War

In addition to eight copper-nickel coins ranging in denomination from 1 Euro Cent to a 2 Euros coin, the set also contains a special 50 Euros coin struck in 15 grams of highly pure 91.7% fine gold. Each copper-nickel coin features the Papal Coat of Arms of Pope Francis while the 50 Euro coin depicts the concept of war and peace linked by a single element, barbed wire, symbolizing war and suffering that slowly turns into an olive branch, representing peace and rebirth. On the left side of the coin, behind the barbed wire, is a man holding a rifle is seen with smoke and rubble in the distance shown in the background. On the right in the foreground, behind the olive branch representing peace, are a father and a little girl with a flower in hand watching two birds fly high in the sky. Each coin also comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
