Commemorative 2 Euro Vatican 2017 Martyrs Peter and Paul — obverse of the coin

We arrive at a coin of incredible historical and religious significance. Specifically, this commemorative €2 coin has been minted to honor the 1950th anniversary of the martyrs Saints Peter and Paul.

On the Obverse, we see the effigies of the two Saints, Peter and Paul, accompanied by their symbols, namely the key and the sword. Surrounding them are two inscriptions: “CITTA' DEL VATICANO” at the top and “1950° DEL MARTIRIO DEI SANTI PIETRO E PAOLO” in the remaining space. To the right is the year of minting, to the left the mintmark, while at the bottom are the names of the designer and engraver.

As always, we can notice the 12 five-pointed stars that represent the European states surrounding the design.

The Reverse features the common face of other commemorative coins and the €2 coins.
