20 Euros – Francis Jubilee; Mother of Hope

Issued as part of the Vatican's official coinage program for the 2025 Jubilee Year, declared by Pope Francis under the theme "Pilgrims of Hope." Jubilee Years carry a tradition dating to 1300, when Boniface VIII first proclaimed one, drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Rome with promises of plenary indulgence. The 2025 observance is only the second Jubilee Francis has presided over — the 2016 Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy was an exception to the standard 25-year cycle he did not initiate.

Vatican collector silver of this period is struck at the Italian State Mint in Rome under license.
