Comment

Dei Verbum is a dogmatic constitution of the Second Vatican Council with the theme “Divine Revelation” and “Sacred Scripture” (the Word of God). It was promulgated by Paul VI on 18 November 1965 and is one of the main documents of the Second Vatican Council. The title refers both to the Word of God, or Sacred Scripture, and to the person of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, and is taken from the beginning of the document. The composition of the reverse side features Christ at the center, the key figure and fulfillment of the Divine Revelation, depicted in the traditional iconography of the blessing Christ. The Holy Spirit depicted as coming from and sent by Jesus himself. The Spirit dominates, guides and protects the Church, symbolized by the boat shaken by the waves of the stormy sea. The background shows the Twelve Apostles on which the Church is founded by divine mandate and from whom comes the proclamation of the Gospel to all generations. On the obverse side, next to the papal coat of arms, are the symbols of the Four Evangelists.

Interesting fact

The 100 Euro Franciscus coin from Vatican City, issued in 2020 to commemorate the Second Vatican Council, features an image of Pope Francis on the obverse side and the Vatican's coat of arms on the reverse side. It is made of 91.7% gold and weighs 30 grams. Interestingly, the coin's design was created by the Vatican's own mint, the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, which has been producing coins and other currency for the Holy See since 1929.
