Vatican City has issued a new set of coins, one of which shows a young person being vaccinated, presumably against COVID-19.
The new coin set consists of eight coins that includes a 20 euro silver coin depicting a young person receiving a needle.
The coin itself does not say whether the jab given to the young person is for COVID, but the description on a Vatican website states that “The 20 euro silver coin, designed by Chiara Principe, is dedicated to a current theme that is very close to Pope Francis’ heart: treatments to counter the pandemic and the need to be vaccinated. The coin depicts a doctor, a nurse and a young person who is ready to receive the vaccine.”
In addition, the site states that “The Holy Father has repeatedly stressed the importance of vaccination, recalling that health care is ‘a moral obligation,’ and it is important to ‘continue efforts to immunize even the poorest peoples.’”
In total, the set costs 180 euros.
