Neue Münzen, die 2025 im Governatorat Vatikanstadt ausgegeben werden

The Governorate of the Vatican City State presents a major, significant program of numismatic issues for the year 2025 reflecting faith, institutional continuity, and great artistic value. The coins to be acquired comprise the most crucial moments in the history of the Church: time of waiting, Jubilee, hope related to Resurrection, and renewing strength found in forgiveness.The SedeV acante MMXXV will be the first observed, that period of time between the end of a pontificate and the election of a new Successor of Peter. Profound meaning for the 2-euro coin is found in and through the coat-of-arms of Cardinal Camerlengo Kevin Joseph Farrell which it tenses with an umbraculum supported by crossed keys—symbols of papal authority entrusted to its stewardship and governance. Around this imagery, circling above, descending, ascending all at once, as doves always seem to do—the dove itself serves as reminder inviolate that there must ever be an invocation accompanying any discernment; yes even during such pregnant times-that emphasize continuity in the Church.The 5-euro silver FDC coin also commemorates this period and delivers its message through art and reflection. Taking inspiration from Guido Reni’s Descent of the Holy Spirit, it presents the upper part of the fresco found within the Vatican Apostolic Palaces: a ring of angels encircling the central dove, holding within itself the untraceable but decisive moment of divine intervention. This picture is of a Church directed toward the sky, mindful that every real choice has its origin in direction received from above.The perspective is based on hope which will be the main theme after the Jubilee Year 2025 and Maria Stella Maris, to whom it proves division series comprising the 20-euro silver coin dedicated. In this icon, the Virgin embraces and protects Peter’s boat, uplifting waters above which it moves. Her mantles separate calmness from stormy weather. She symbolizes Star of the Sea who enlightens the path both Church and humankind reflection provide shelter, strength, and direction during Holy Year.The Jubilee finds its deep second expression in the proof divisional series with the 50-euro gold coin, housing the Pardon of Assisi. Its legacy begins from that night in 1216 when praying before the Crucifix, Saint Francis asked for mercy not only for himself but for all people. That plea, crossing over centuries, is still considered as concrete reconciliation and love of God; it still invites a person to accept forgiveness that heals rather than judges.The series comes to an end in Easter and the Resurrection with the 25 euro colored silver coin. The Risen Christ steps from an empty sepulcher, life affirming above death, while the open Sepulchre can be regarded as most general symbol of renewal and hope. This work brings together metal and color in a visual tale capable of bringing back to life that momentous statement which lingers on within human hearts: light has conquered darkness and will continue to shine.
