Description of the 2 Euro Gendarmeria Vaticana 2016

2016 Vatican Commemorative €2 Gendarmerie — obverse of the coin

Let's move on to another €2 commemorative coin from the Vatican City State. Specifically, this coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Vatican Gendarmerie.

On the Obverse, we find a Gendarme facing the dome of St. Peter's Basilica positioned to the left of the man. Surrounding it are two inscriptions. At the top is “CORPO DELLA GENDARMERIA 1816 • 2016” while at the bottom is engraved “CITTA' DEL VATICANO”. To the right, we find the name of the designer, while to the left is the mint mark and the initials of the engraver.

As is customary, the 12 five-pointed stars representing the European states are present all around.

On the Reverse, we find, as with other €2 coins, the representation of Europe.
