In 2013 the Vatican will mint an official BU-set with 8 eurocoins of 2013.

Also the Vatican will mint a special 2 eurocoin 2013 'Sede Vacante'. Here is an official picture! Available around may / june.

Nice! Is this silver?

Will they be doing anything humanistic for the retired and/or new pope?

No. This coin has the metal composition of a regular 2 Euro coin. Mintage of this coin will be 125.000.

It is expected that the 2013 BU-mint set (1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, 1 Euro, 2 Euro) from the Vatican still has the effigy of Benedict XVI and that the new pope will be on the 2014 set.
Not quite sure yet if the new pope's effigy will be on the 2 Euro CC from the Vatican honoring the World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro.

Fpr those who want a silver "coin" with a Sede Vacante 2013 theme, there will be silver and gold issues as well. One side will look pretty much like the obverse of the €2 coin, with the CoA of the Holy See and that of the current camerlengo; the other side will feature the dove and the "Veni Sancte Spiritus" motto again.
