Welcome to Coin Talk, Chantal. You would be well served to avoid YouTube sites for numismatic knowledge — they traffic in misinformation and...
Thanks for the info. My question was born of idle curiosity, so I'll take a rain check on visiting the mint site.
Ha! OK. Like I said, I don't buy mint products so I'm pretty stupid about how they're sold. So I guess if it's a freebie, then a blemished cent...

It's not. Check the first post again. The silver L 500 coin originally in that slot has been replaced with a token. If you google "1973 vatican...
That's pretty amazing. Obviously that coin didn't survive 90 years in circulation. Some collector (or, more likely, a hoarder) reintroduced it....
