STAMPS AND COINS OF THE SEDE VACANTE
Vatican City, 1 March 2013 (VIS) - The Philatelic and Numismatic Office of
the Governorate of Vatican City State has issued four stamps with the image of
an angel raising the pavilion (“umbraculum”) of the Apostolic
Camera, the work of
Italian artist Daniela Longo. The stamps cost: €0.70 for mail to Italy,
with a light green background; €0.85 for mail to Europe, with a blue
background; €2.00 for mail to the Americas, with a grey background; and
€2.50 for mail to
Oceania, on a yellow background.
The use of these stamps as postage is only available during the Sede
Vacante, ending with the election of the new Pope. Their philatelic use is
allowed afterwards and the office will continue to sell them to collectors.
The initial printing is for
230,000 complete series. The folder including all four stamps costs
€15.00. There is also a smaller folder that was created on Pope Benedict
XVI's renunciation of the pontificate, which includes two stamps and costs
€10.00.
Regarding coins, a €2.00 one commemorating the Sede Vacante will be
issued. It is the only one that will be circulated seeing that, according to
the European convention with the Vatican City State, only one coin is allowed
to be issued per year,
with an extra one permitted in the case of a Sede Vacante. There will,
therefore, be two coins in 2013: one for the Sede Vacante and the other, to be
issued in April, with an image of Benedict XVI.
The Sede Vacante coin, 125,000 of which will be minted, bears the emblem of
the Cardinal camerlengo with the pavilion of the Apostolic Camera.
There will also be 10,000 silver €5.00 coins minted for the Sede
Vacante that will have a dove of the Holy Spirit and the words “Veni
Sancte Spiritus” on one side and the emblem of the Cardinal camerlengo
with the pavilion of the
Apostolic Camera and the phrase “Sede Vacante 2013” on the other.
Likewise, 5,000 gold €10.00 coins will be minted. This will be a very
small coin (13.85mm in size and 3g in weight) and will have the same images
and writing as the
silver coin.
The €5.00 and €10.00 coins are collectibles and, theoretically,
can only be used within the Vatican. They are not legal tender outside of the
Vatican.
