Vatican. Proof Set 2025 (incl. 20 Euro Silver) (No reserve price)

Last divisionary series proof issued under the pontificate of Pope Francis for the 2025 Jubilee, with 20 euro silver. With the lowest print run ever realized for Vatican divisionali, only 3,700 copies. It is also the last divisionary to feature the Pope's coat of arms rather than the face, a unique choice in Vatican history adopted only by Pope Francis—an rarity sure to appreciate over time. In the Jubilee of 2025, the Church turns its gaze to Mary, Star of the Sea, Mother of Hope, as a guiding light, a safe refuge and a light in the waves of life. In the composition by Chiara Principe, Mary is depicted frontally, with a solemn yet tender gesture: her hands extended to steady the calm waters on which Peter’s boat sails with confidence. Her arms, open like welcoming shores, embrace those who entrust themselves to Her. Her mantle becomes the boundary between the storm and the calm. The Star of the Sea shines above, irradiating the scene with a light that does not dazzle, but guides, and within that sea guarded by Mary, the Church advances serenely. In that celestial embrace, humanity finds shelter, strength, and renewed confidence to resume the journey.
