On October 26, two new coins were issued in the Vatican in which the protagonists are two Popes. The first with a 20 euro facial is for the "200th anniversary of the death of Pope Pius VII" and the second with a 50 euro facial is for the "400th anniversary of the death of Pope Gregory XV." Both coins are gold.

20 euros – 200th anniversary of the death of Pope Pius VII

Luigi Barnaba Gregorio Chiaramonti was elected Pope in 1800 (after more than three months of conclave in Venice). His 23-year pontificate went through one of the most difficult periods in the history of the Church: the French occupation of Rome. Solidly trained in the Benedictine school, he knew how to protect the rights of the Church against the pretensions of Napoleon. After years of exile, he returned triumphantly to Rome in 1814, and Pius VII decided to reconstitute the Society of Jesus. He was a great lover of art and demonstrated it in 1806, when he founded the Chiaramonti Museum, within the Vatican Museums, where the works of art stolen by Napoleon and later recovered were exhibited.

 

The artist Luigi Oldani represents the face of the Pontiff with the tiara on his head on the reverse of the coin.
