This specimen was lot 1629 in Sincona sale 66 (Zurich, October 2020), where it sold for 1,750 CHF (about US$2,304 including buyer's fees).

Polierte Platte. Im Originaletui mit Zertifikat.'' ([[Vatican]] City, Benedict XVI, 2005-13, one hundred euro of 2010, Rome mint. Very rare. Only 1'100 pieces struck, Choice Proof, In original box with certificate.)"</blockquote> Coinage for the [[Vatican]] City began in 1929, struck at the Rome mint. Coins are issued for the Vatican City in symbolic amounts but as they are eagerly saved as souvenirs by tourists, they are not in short supply for collectors.

While coins up to two euro are legal tender throughout Europe, larger coins are valid only in their country of issue.
