Reverse description
The Holy Grail of Valencia Cathedral - the cup that according to the word of mouth was to be used by Jesus during the Last Supper. The relic was donated to the Cathedral by King Alfonso V of Aragon in 1437, but the stone goblet made of agate comes from between the second century BC and the first century AD. The decoration of a red agate is therefore on the silver coin. The gold coin is decorated with a purple Swarovski crystal, whose colour symbolizes the passion and death of Christ.
