Description of the 2 Euro San Paolo 2008

2 Euro Commemorative Vatican 2008 Saint Paul — obverse of the coin

Another coin dedicated to a very important historical and religious figure. Specifically, we are talking about Saint Paul and the coin that commemorates 2000 years since his birth.

On the Obverse, the coin depicts the scene of the conversion of Saint Paul on the road to Damascus. In the foreground, Saint Paul is shown on his horse, startled by a sudden light. In the background, we can see Damascus itself. To the left, the inscription “CITTÀ DEL VATICANO” is present, while to the right is “ANNO SANCTO PAULO DICATO”.

Also on the right, we find the year of minting, the mint mark, and the name of the designer, while further down are the initials of the engraver. Surrounding the design are the usual 12 five-pointed stars representing the European states, while on the Reverse, the coin is identical to the other 2 Euro coins.
