Description of the 2 Euro Compleanno Papa XVI 2007

2 Euro Commemorative Vatican 2007 Pope Benedict XVI — 2 Euro Commemorative Vatican 2007 Birthday of Pope XVI — obverse of the coin

We arrive at the first coin honoring a very important figure. Specifically, this €2 coin commemorates the 80th birthday of Pope Benedict XVI.

On the Obverse, there is a portrait of Pope Benedict XVI facing left, surrounded by the circular inscription “BENEDICTI XVI P.M. ÆTATIS ANNO LXXX • CITTA' DEL VATICANO,” with the name of the city slightly larger. To the left, the mintmark R and the year of minting 2007 are present. Below, we find the names of the designer and engraver. As usual, the 12 stars representing the member states of the European Union are present all around.

On the Reverse, it features the same design found on practically any €2 coin.
