My New Vatican-Issued Passport!
What's up plebs?!
Check out my new passport, issued by the Vatican:
Nah, just kidding. It's just a recent addition I got for the stack that comes in a nifty red hard paper case:
A commemorative 500 lire coin from the Vatican, 11 g of silver with a 0.835 purity.
I paid 15$, a bit more than I would like to, but these days I am trying to add some more fancy pieces in my collection. This one had the original casing and all so I went for it. On eBay it goes for 18-20 $ last time I checked, so I guess I did somewhat good if I ever decide to sell.
Let's see some close ups
The piece commemorates the "Second 1978 Sede Vacante", whatever the fuck that is.
Wait, let me google it
Sede vacante (lit. 'with the chair [being] vacant' in Latin)[a] refers, in the Canon Law of the Catholic Church, to the state during which a diocese or archdiocese is without a prelate installed in office, with the prelate's office being the cathedral (some are also used as a place of residence if the prelate lives within the cathedral compound). The term is used frequently in reference to papal vacancies occurring upon the Pope's death or resignation. source
So yeah, religious bs.. as you'd expect from a Vatican coin lol.
Honestly I feel really meh about this coin, only reason I got it is because it was (?) somewhat cheap and different from the usual junk silver I get.
The casing is really cool though 😄
Ok, time to stash this baby back in the vault 😄
Stack on plebs!

I guess you are the only one who has the heart to use junk and silver in one sentence.
I am still enamored by the shine or the lack of it and the feel of Silver.
I find it hard to call it Junk.
You got a good one. I find it hard to sell any silver coin or pieces the longer I hold the harder it gets to sell them.
Keep posting buddy!
Junk silver is a term used mostly for coins with little numismatic value, not actual junk. :)
that clickbait got me:)

Awesome! But seriously, I'm starting to think every American needs at least one second passport.
Heh, you reminded me of this lol https://www.reddit.com/r/PassportPorn/

Don´t take it personally, but I think this post is a bit overrewarded compared to the many good content that is out there which is not seen by any whale.
Yeah dunno it exploded for whatever reason, no worries ☺️

I think it is a beautiful coin.
The Vatican City State is a distinct territory under "full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction" of the Holy See, itself a sovereign entity under international law, which maintains the city-state's temporal power and governance, diplomatic, and spiritual independence. Also, the country has the world's smallest land area and the smallest population.
I love going to the Vatican!

The casing is quite nice. I think it's neat to fit things into a passport.

You may not feel good about the currency because of the relationship with the Vatican, religion is a lot of rules, I think GOD will be happier when we offer him something because we decided so, NOT because of the rules to follow.
I wish you a happy night
