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

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), the Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the Community providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country: The Vatican City State
Subject of commemoration: The 26th World Youth Day
Description of the design: The inner part of the coin shows, at the centre, some young people and flags, and also the mintmark ‘R’ and the year ‘2011’. At the top, along the outer limit of the inner ring, from left to right, ‘XXVI’ and ‘G.M.G’ from Giornata Mondiale della Gioventù (World Youth Day). At the bottom, the name of the issuing country ‘CITTÀ DEL VATICANO’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued: 
Date of issue: October 2011


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national faces of all the coins issued in 2002.

According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2011.

Directing ILPGH, inter alia, to take certain steps in connection with and to enable the investment by the Minister for Finance of Ireland (the ‘Minister’) of up to the value of EUR 3 800 000 000 in ILPGH, such steps including but not limited to the increase of ILPGH’s authorised ordinary share capital and the alteration of the issued and the authorised but unissued share capital, the adoption of new articles of association and the alteration of the existing memorandum of association, the issue by ILPGH of ordinary shares to the Minister and to enter into certain agreements with ILP and others to facilitate the investment.
Directing ILP (being a credit institution licensed in Ireland), inter alia, to take certain steps in connection with the investment by the Minister referred to above, including the issue to the Minister of contingent capital notes and to enter into certain agreements with ILPGH and others to facilitate the investment.
The Court did declare, inter alia, that the Direction Order and each and every part of it insofar as it is addressed to and is made in respect of ILP is a reorganisation measure for the purposes of Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001.
