Comment
The 100 euro gold coin for 2018 inaugurates a new four-year cycle dedicated to the Apostolic Constitutions of the Second Vatican Council. We begin with “Sacrosanctum Concilium”, the “Magna Carta” of the Church’s liturgical renewal. The Liturgy is the “source” from which all the energy of the Church goes forth. The small reservoir depicted on the coin represents the Liturgy that by being renewed gushes and flows between the rocks, with the “Agnus Dei” (Lamb of God), symbolizing Christ and the Church. The Liturgy, source of energy and nourishment, feeds the large flourishing tree full of fruit, symbolizing the “new era for the Catholic Church.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Euros - Franciscus (Sacrosanctum Concilium) 2018 coin from Vatican City is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, which was a landmark document that reformed the Catholic Church's liturgy and had a significant impact on the Church's practices and traditions. The coin's design features an image of Pope Francis, who was instrumental in the reform, and the inscription "Sacrosanctum Concilium" (meaning "Sacred Council" in Latin) to highlight the coin's connection to the Constitution. The coin's gold content and limited mintage also make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
