2 euro Vatican City 2022 – 125th birth anniversary of Pope Paul VI Proof

The coin is dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the birth of Giovanni Battista Montini, born in 1897 and elected pope in 1963 under the name Paul VI. The coin depicts the Pope smiling and spreading his arms wide in a gesture he often used when greeting crowds. Paul VI was the last pope to be born in the 19th century, and the last pope to be crowned with a tiara when elected – John Paul I abolished this tradition. Paul VI donated his tiara to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.
