2024 Vatican €5 18-gm Silver 12 Apostles Philip Proof

Saint Philip Is Fifth 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 fifth coin in the series featuring Saint Philip.

A Poignant And Symbolic Image Of Saint Philip

The design shows an image of Philip in old age, depicted with a long beard and curved shoulders. On the right side of the coin is the cross, the symbol of the saint’s martyrdom at the age of 80 when he was crucified upside down. The coin’s obverse shows the Papal Crest of Pope Francis. Often overshadowed by his more famous counterparts, the Apostle Philip is known for his earnest quest to bring others to Jesus, including the notable encounter with Nathanael under the fig tree. His enthusiasm for spreading the message of Christ was as sincere as his simple, yet profound answer to Nathanial’s question: “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” To which Philip replied: “Come and see.”
