From the lira to the euro

The Vatican City State was founded in 1929, during the pontificate of Pius XI (pope from 1922 to 1939). In the lira period the Vatican struck 100 Lire gold coins, such as the one of 1937. Since 2002 the Vatican has used the euro, and its gold coins also carry euro values, like the 10 and 50 euro coins in this category.
