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!

@drl, first welcome to CCF.

Second, it looks like The Vatican issued several probe sets in the years 2004-5, including this one. Here is a link to someone who sold four different sets from this timeframe:

This isn't an official set - these were minted privately, I forget who by now. They also issued sets for the UK. The official Vatican sets used the official designs.

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
