This specimen was lot 1630 in Sincona sale 66 (Zurich, October 2020), where it sold for 4,500 CHF (about US$5,924 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''ITALY | Vatican - Church State | misc, Benedikt XVI. 2005-2013. 200 Euro 2012, Roma. Sehr selten. Nur 499 Exemplare geprägt. Polierte Platte. Im Originaletui mit Zertifikat.'' ([[Vatican]] City, Benedict XVI, 2005-13, two hundred euro of 2012, Rome mint. Very rare. Only 499 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. This two hundred euro commemorative is one of a series of gold issues struck for pope Benedict honoring the cardinal virtue, Faith. While coins up to two euro are legal tender throughout Europe, larger coins are valid only in their country of issue.
