In a tribute to the 750th anniversary of the death of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Vatican Mint and Treasury of the Holy See have released two new collector coins [03c3cb8a]. Produced by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato Italiano, the coins include a €2 bi-metallic coin and a silver and color proof coin. The €2 coin features an image of Saint Thomas Aquinas wearing the habit of the Dominican Order and holding a tome of his most important work, the 'Summa Theologica.' The silver proof coin depicts Saint Thomas Aquinas in the habit of the Dominican Order with a shining sun on his chest, holding a book and a pen. Both coins bear the inscription 'CITTA DEL VATICANO' and the European Union stars. The coins are limited in mintage, with 67,000 of the €2 coin and an unspecified number of the silver proof coin. They come with certificates of authenticity and are available for purchase through the Vatican City State Mint [03c3cb8a].
