Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all
new euro coin designs (1) with a view to informing anyone required to handle coins in the course of their
work and the public at large. In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2), Member
States and countries that have concluded a Monetary Agreement with the Community providing for the
issuance of euro circulation coins are allowed to issue certain quantities of commemorative euro circulation
coins on condition that not more than one new coin design is issued per country per year and that only
the EUR 2 denomination is used. These coins have the technical features of normal euro circulation coins,
but bear a commemorative design on the obverse national side.

Issuing State: Vatican City State

Subject of commemoration: 20th World Youth Day held in Cologne in August 2005

Factual description of the design: The inner part of the coin shows a representation of the Cathedral of
Cologne with a comet in the upper part of the design. The words ‘XX GIORNATA MONDIALE DELLA
GIOVENTU'’ form a quasi-semicircle along the upper edge of the inner part, interrupted by the tail of the
comet and one of the church spires. Twelve stars in a quasi-semicircle appear on the upper part of the
outer ring. At the top, within the outer ring, the year of mintage (2005) and the mintmark ‘R’ are inserted
between the stars. On the lower part of the outer ring the words ‘CITTA' DEL VATICANO’ form a semi-
circle.
