2024 Vatican Annual 9-pc Proof Set w/Silver 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 Silver Allegorical Coin

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 20 Euros coin struck in 26 grams of highly pure 92.5% Sterling silver. Each copper-nickel coin features the Papal Coat of Arms of Pope Francis while the 20 Euro coin depicts the allegory of gossip/slander, a theme often touched upon by Pope Francis addressed who in a September 2, 2013 speech said that, "a person in a community who gossips against his or her neighbor is, in a sense, killing him." The image shows a woman whispering into a man's ear while to the left is a little angel who signals silence with his index finger resting on his lips, thus expressing a warning to measure one's words carefully. 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.
