| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1981 Vatican coinage was issued under the shadow of the May 13th assassination attempt on John Paul II in St. Peter's Square, which left him critically wounded and hospitalized for weeks. The papal theme of charity toward prisoners, the sick, and the poor carried particular weight that year — the Pope himself had become, however briefly, among the vulnerable.
Acmonital, the stainless steel alloy adopted by Italy and Vatican City from the 1950s onward, was chosen for its resistance to wear in active circulation rather than for any symbolic reason.
