Comment
This year marks the 750th anniversary of the death of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Roccasecca 1225 ca - Fossanova 1274). On the reverse side of the 25 euro colour silver rectangular coin, artist Gabriella Titotto depicts Saint Thomas in the habit of the Dominican Order with a shining sun in his chest. In his hands he holds a book and a pen, symbols of his dedication to reading and writing. The image of a dove next to the Saint’s ear and the phrase engraved on the cross “bene scripsisti de me thoma” allude to his mystical conversation with Jesus. The angels in prayer depicted on the left side of the coin recall the extensive study of angelology in his work Summa Theologica.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Saint Thomas Aquinas, a prominent Catholic theologian and philosopher, on one side, and the Vatican City's coat of arms on the other.
