Vatican coinage

Vatican coinage refers to the issuance of coins by the Vatican City State, primarily for use within the Vatican and as collectibles. These coins often showcase religious symbols, papal portraits, and important figures related to the Catholic Church. They are minted with high-quality materials and are legal tender only within Vatican City. Collectors prize them for their craftsmanship, unique designs, and cultural significance. Though not widely circulated globally, Vatican coins serve as a form of revenue, merchandise, and diplomatic gift, reflecting the Vaticano's religious and artistic heritage.
