| Additional information |
Issued under the pontificate of Francis, whose papacy has been defined in part by outspoken advocacy for refugees and displaced persons, this piece was released to mark the 106th World Day of Migrants and Refugees — a Vatican observance dating to 1914. The choice to strike in gold-plated silver rather than straight silver reflects a deliberate tiered release strategy the Vatican mint has employed for years, producing companion pieces at different price points for the same commemorative event.
