| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in the same year Joseph Ratzinger was elected pope — the first German pontiff since Adrian VI in the sixteenth century — this piece commemorates the sacrament of baptism as part of the Vatican's annual gold series tied to Christian theological themes. The 2005 series holds particular weight given it bridges the final months of John Paul II's pontificate and the opening of the Benedictus XVI papacy, making it one of the few Vatican issues to straddle two reigns within a single calendar year.
