Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, the Vatican will issue three coins dedicated to the vacant seat:
- commemorative 2-euro (111,000 pieces, issued June 3);
- 5 euro silver 925 (18 g, 32 mm, 10,000 pieces);
- 10 euro gold (3 g, 13.85 mm, 5,000 pieces).
Recall that the Vatican will issue this year, as well as that of the vacancy, another commemorative 2-euro dedicated to the XXVIII World Youth Day.
