Hi,

2€ 2007 Vatican "Treaty of Rome" doesn't excists as an original 2€-Coin. It will be a "Probe".
Are you sure that the 1€ Monaco and 1€ & 2€ Vatican 2002 are the original like the pictures?
I don't think so because the price of 70 Dollar for all this coins is to low. I think it would be also "Probe"

Greetings
El Buitre


2002 1 euro
Monaco - Prince Rainier III and Prince Albert II
Vatican City - Pope John Paul II

2002 2 euro
Vatican City - Pope John Paul II

2007 2 euro
Vatican City - Treaty of Rome

 

LOL dont worry I know that the Vatican never issued a genuine Treaty coin, this one is classed as a Essay and i believe the other two Vatican are the same. The Monaco though is suposedly genuine but we will see when it arrives :smile

 

An easy way to find out is looking at the reverse once you get your pieces. If you see something like "2 E" there, instead of the usual "2 EURO", then it will be a medal. Terms like "essai" or "Probe" are somewhat misleading as these pieces are not officially issued by governments but made by third parties. You will know that - problem is, Monaco for example did issue some official essai pieces in the franc years. So unexperienced collectors may believe that these "Probe" pieces have a similar status ...

Christian

 

The Monaco one is the one that I am uncertain about and until I have it in hand i realy wont know for sure. The other three are deffinate essays/Probe/Trial pieces :smile
