| Additional information |
By 1996, the Vatican's annual coin sets had become a reliable fixture of Catholic institutional gift-giving, and the 200 Lire denomination — introduced to Italian and Vatican circulation back in 1977 — was already well into its twilight years. Italy's lira would be irrevocably fixed to the euro just two years later, rendering this among the final issues of any practical relevance before the series became purely ceremonial packaging.
