In addition, this specimen originates from a spectacular hoard of over 1,000 European gold coins, and now it can be proudly displayed in your collection.
The Center of Catholicism: Vatican City
The Vatican City State is a sovereign country located in Rome, Italy. It was established as an independent state in 1929 through the Lateran Treaty that was signed by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and the Pope Pius XI that year. To lay the groundwork for this new independence, the Pope approved the Vatican’s first gold coins series the same year. It was denominated as 100 Lire and featured the Pope’s image on the obverse and a handsome, full-body depiction of Jesus on the reverse.
Vatican City is only about 121 acres and, as of 2023, had a population of around 764, making it the smallest state in the world according to both population and area. It is governed by the Holy See and is considered a sacerdotal-monarchical state ruled by the Pope, who is the bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church.
Catholic Jubilee Gold Coin Series
The coins on offer here today are part of a series issued by Vatican City from 1929 to 1935 to commemorate Catholicism’s 1933 Jubilee events, which also marked the 1900th anniversary of Jesus’ death and resurrection according to the Catholic faith. These Jubilee gold coins were among the first legal-tender gold coin series issued by Vatican City, which, as a reminder, had just recently been declared a sovereign nation in 1929.
Catholic Jubilee Gold Coin Series / Dual Date 1933-1934 100 Lire Pope Pius XI
The first iteration of this series was issued under Pope Pius from 1929 to 1935, and it paid homage to the Christian Jubilee celebrations. This particular specimen was dual-date 1933/1934 to not only celebrate the ongoing jubilee, but to also mark the 1900th anniversary of Jesus’ death and resurrection according to the Catholic faith.
Second Lowest Mintage in the Series
In total, 25,585 100 Lire Jubilee gold coins were struck under Pope Pius XI from 1929 to 1935. A mere 10% feature the dual 1933/1934 dates, resulting in the second smallest mintage of coins struck of this era.
Intricate Christian Designs by a Famed Italian Sculptor
The obverse and reverse were designed by famed Italian designer and sculptor Aurelio Mistruzzi, who was well-known for his bronzes and medals.
The obverse features a regal depiction of Pope Pius XI with the Latin inscriptions PIVS XI (Pius XI) PONT MAX (Pontificus Maximus) ANNO IVB (Latin reference to “Jubilee Year”).
On the reverse, you’ll find a poignant image of Jesus Christ holding a scepter in one hand and a globus crucifier in the other. A small child kneels at his feet, grasping a crown. The date, denomination, and inscription STATO DELLA CITTA’ DEL VATICANO (Vatican City State) appear along the rim.
Chamberlain Pedigree and Dazzling 99.9% Fine Gold Certification Labels
Each coin has been certified and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC). Due to the size and importance of this impressive hoard, a special pedigree was given to it – the Chamberlain Gold Reserve. The term Chamberlain refers to the treasurer of a government or corporation or the officer who managed aristocratic households. This pedigree is proudly displayed within the NGC capsule on a special label made from 1 gram of .999 fine pure gold – a nod to the fact that the hoard was made up of gold coinage.
