| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1988, the Vatican's annual coin sets had become a reliable vehicle for thematic biblical programming, with each denomination assigned a distinct scriptural subject within a unified yearly series. That year's set took its theme from Genesis, placing the Fall narrative on the smallest aluminum piece in circulation. John Paul II's papacy leaned heavily into catechetical iconography across its official issues, a deliberate counterpoint to what the Vatican saw as secular drift in Western culture during the 1980s.
Aluminum lire of this period circulated widely in Italy under the parallel monetary arrangement that gave Vatican issues legal tender status throughout the country until Italian lira abolition in 2002.
