New national side of euro circulation coins

(2007/C 233/08)

National side of the new 2-euro commemorative circulation coin issued by the Vatican City State

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 all parties required to handle coins in the course of their
work as well as the public at large. In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2),
euro-area 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 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the technical features of normal euro circu-
lation coins, but bear a commemorative design on the national side.

Issuing State: Vatican City State

Subject of commemoration: 80th anniversary of the Pope Benedictus XVI

Factual description of the design: The inner part of the coin features a bust of His Holiness Benedictus
XVI in profile facing to the left. The legend ‘BENEDICTI XVI P.M. AETATIS ANNO LXXX CITTA' DEL
VATICANO’ is engraved around the portrait. On the left hand side, the mintmark ‘R’, the issuing year ‘2007’
and the initials of the engraver ‘M.C.C. INC.’. On the right hand side, the author's name ‘LONGO’. The outer
ring of the coin depicts the twelve stars of the European flag.

Issuing volume: 100 000 coins

Approximate issuing date: September-October 2007

Edge lettering: 2 ★, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted.
