Vatican. Year Set (BU) 2026 (No reserve price)

The new Vatican divisional series, the first of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate, directly draws inspiration from the pope’s coat of arms, reproduced on the cover with a chalk-like effect and rendered in relief on an ivory background, while a deep blue characterizes the inscriptions and the prominent graphical elements, recalling the colors of the two heraldic fields of the papal shield. The same color pairing will later find space, in an even more evident form, in the new packaging line that will accompany the upcoming numismatic issues. Not a purely aesthetic choice therefore, but a true homage and a direct reference to the new pontificate. The coins housed inside feature an unprecedented alternation between the pope’s effigy and the papal coat of arms: the effigy appears on the larger denominations, the coat of arms on the smaller ones, in a graphic design without precedent in the history of Vatican divisional coins. The 2-euro coin also encloses the distinctive elements of Leo’s coat of arms: the lily, symbol of purity and Marian devotion, and the burning heart pierced by an arrow above an open book, emblem of Augustinian spirituality and the power of God’s Word, capable of transforming the heart of man.
