€ 100 coin - Apostolic Constitutions of Vatican II: Gaudium et Spes

 

 The Gaudium et Spes is the fourth and last Apostolic Constitution of the Second Vatican Council celebrated with a 100 euro gold coin from Vatican City; In drawing up this Constitution, the Council Fathers directed the Church's attention to the need to open a fruitful dialogue between the Church and the contemporary world. In the Proem we read: "The community is made up of men who, gathered in the name of Christ, are guided by the Holy Spirit on their pilgrimage to the Kingdom of the Father, and have received a message of salvation to propose to all."

The artist Mariangela Crisciotti has admirably given voice to the words of the Gaudium et Spes, creating an image full of meaning: a dove, with wings similar to an olive branch, distributes seeds over a crowd of people with arms raised. of hope and peace.

 

The other side of the coin shows the coat of arms of Pope Francis who celebrates his ninth year of pontificate in 2021.
