<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 45988, member: 39&quot;]Maybe so, but I don&#039;t actually know of any such coins. This is from a list that I posted to rcc the other day:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>1939: Pius XII became Pope on 2 March -&gt; only Pius XII coins that year.</i></p><p><i>1958: John XXIII became Pope on 28 October -&gt; only Pius XII coins.</i></p><p><i>1963: Paul VI became Pope on 21 June -&gt; only Paul VI coins. </i></p><p><i>1978: John Paul I became Pope on 26 August -&gt; only Paul VI coins.</i></p><p><i>1978: John Paul II became Pope on 16 October -&gt; only JP I coins*</i></p><p><br /></p><p>(* actually just the 1000 lire coin that you mentioned. But in 1978 there were no JP II coins yet.)</p><p><br /></p><p>While I do have several Vatican coins, I do not collect them systematically, so I could not tell from my own collection whether the above is correct. But the catalogs and web sites I know say so ...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.inkoze.de/welt/pdf/vatikanstadt.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.inkoze.de/welt/pdf/vatikanstadt.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.inkoze.de/welt/pdf/vatikanstadt.pdf</a></p><p>(from the Schön catalog, in German)</p><p><a href="http://www.ilmarengo.com/vaticano/welcome.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ilmarengo.com/vaticano/welcome.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ilmarengo.com/vaticano/welcome.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
