Description
2 Euro Commemorative Coin Vatican City 2019 90th Anniversary of the Foundation of the State of the Vatican City State 2 Euro Commemorative Coin Vatican 2019 – 90th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Vatican City State commemorates the political settlement that established the modern Vatican State nine decades earlier. On 11 February 1929, the Holy See and Italy signed the Lateran Treaties, recognizing the Vatican’s sovereign status and protecting the pope’s independence. The agreements entered into force on 7 June 1929, making 2019 the ninetieth anniversary of their implementation. The coin’s design links this diplomatic milestone with the pontiff who oversaw it: the profile of Pope Pius XI appears in the foreground. Behind him stands the Lateran Palace, a significant setting associated with the accords. The dates 1929 and 2019 placed below the image emphasize the continuity between the founding moment and its commemoration.
