2023 Vatican €5 18-gm Silver 12 Apostles John Proof

Saint John Is Third Release In Vatican City’s Twelve Apostles Series

The 12 apostles were the closest followers of Jesus Christ. They were also known as the 12 disciples or just “the Twelve” and they were all influential figures in the movement that gave rise to Christianity and helped spread the gospel throughout the world. They’re spreading the Good News again through a series of silver coins released by the treasury department of the Vatican City State. The series, which began in 2022, features coins struck in 18 grams of highly pure 92.5% Sterling silver with extremely small mintages that will have collectors scrambling to make sure they don’t miss out. Here you can secure the third coin in the series featuring Saint John.

A Poignant And Symbolic Image Of Saint John

The design shows an image of John as described in his Gospel, with his head reclining on Jesus’ shoulder during the Last Supper. John is about to ask Jesus who will be the one to betray Him. The coin’s obverse not only shows the Papal Crest of Pope Francis, but also an eagle in flight, a symbol attributed to John the Apostle. Just as an eagle can contemplate the center of the sun without being blinded by it, Saint John was able to contemplate the mystery of Jesus as the Son of God and become a witness to His Truth.
