DRL New Member Belgium 2 Posts	Posted 07/25/2020 11:05 am Good day everyone. Back in the days, I once purchased a vatican euro set. I found it again and struggle finding information about it. Here is all the info I have, I am looking to know if its genuine, for its year and maybe a valuation if possible. Comes in a white box without anything on the exterior. Vatican symbol inside with a certificate (see pictures) Probe coins from 1c to 2€ and 5 euro medal I have searched the web and could not find this exact set. Tha ks for your expertise!

Here is a link to someone who sold four different sets from this timeframe: https://www.catawiki.com/l/9721809-...sede-vacante "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

angelo New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 3:21 pm Correct term in Italian is Prova, and these were issues privately for many countries and they are on sale on ebay all the time. There is no real value like the Vatican Prova sets of the mid 60's and earlier. These sets sell for 1500 to 2200 US Report this Post to the Staff
