I have just received a press release from the Vatican that provides detailed information on the forthcoming issue of the 2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the "VII Centenary of the death of Dante Alighieri", which, as usual, has been minted in two qualities, FDC and Proof, We are going to know the date on which it is issued, the different presentations together with their emission volumes, a price at which it will be available to subscribers to Vatican numismatic issues and I will also present you with a rectangular coin with a 25 euro facial dedicated to the same topic.

The announced issue date is October 26, and it is on sale in two qualities, FDC and Proof, at a price for subscribers of 18 and 37 euros respectively, plus the subsequent shipping costs.

The artist, Patrizio Daniele, has reproduced Dante's face on the coin next to one of the most famous monuments of Florence in the world: the Palazzo Vecchio. Dante was born in Florence in 1265 and died in Ravenna in 1321, far from his beloved city. In exile he composed his greatest work, the Divine Comedy, thanks to which Dante is considered a universal author.

Colored rectangular 25 euro coin

 

The rectangular 25 euro colored silver coin has been created by Daniela Longo. The artist has embedded, in the silver frame of the coin, the face of Dante. The detail has been taken from the famous fresco "El Parnaso", painted by Rafael Sanzio in 1510, located in the Estancia de la Signatura in the Vatican Museums.
