A few days ago I showed you part of the euro coins that the Vatican will issue on October 26, those dedicated to the "VII Centenary of the death of Dante Alighieri." On that same date, another two coins will be issued that I am going to present to you today, one of them let's say it is a "surprise" issue because it did not appear in the 2021 numismatic program that was announced.

These are two silver coins with 10 euro facials dedicated to the "75th anniversary of Unesco", and the one not initially announced, which serves to celebrate the "Centenary of the founding of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart".

Unesco's 75th anniversary

UNESCO was founded at the end of the Second World War, in 1945, to guarantee a lasting peace; in fact, its acronym means: United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

 

The artist Daniela Fusco has reproduced on the coin a dove with an olive branch in its beak (symbol of peace) and a ribbon on which the three words are written, symbol of the commitment against all kinds of war and discrimination: education - science - culture. On the right is represented the Basilica of Saint Peter, as a symbol of Christianity. The Vatican City, in its entirety, was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984.

 

Centenary of the founding of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart

The Vatican also wants to celebrate the Centenary of the Foundation of the University of the Sacred Heart, with the extraordinary issuance of a 10 euro silver coin. 

 

The University coat of arms, faithfully reproduced by the artist Gabriella Titotto, represents the identity of the Athenaeum: at the top the Sacred Heart of Jesus; in the center the Alma Mater (expression that indicates the University in which the graduations are made); to the sides two students; finally, the Latin phrase: “Universitas Catholica Sacri Cordis Jesu Mediolani”. Since its founding, it has become the largest Athenaeum in Europe, always remaining true to its Catholic identity.
