In addition to its status as the headquarters of the
Roman Catholic Church, Vatican City is the smallest country in the world.
Although it’s not a member of the European Union, the Euro has been its
official currency since 2002.
Since then, Vatican City has released only five
Euro series encompassing the tenures of three popes, John Paul II, Benedict
XVI, and Francis.
The latest series began in 2017 after Pope Francis forbid the
use of his effigy on Vatican City Coins.
Instead of his image, the eight denominations
of Vatican Euro coins no longer bore the Pope’s image and now feature his papal Coat of Arms.

This 2024 €1 (one euro) Vatican City coin housed in coin
card packaging that features an image of Pope Francis.
