(25-06-2021) 5 EURO COMMEMORATIVE BIMETALLIC COIN PROOF VERSION - 2021

Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de’ Medici, was the 217th pope of the Catholic Church from 1513 to his death on 1st December 1521. Belonging to one of the most powerful Florentine families of the time, Leo X was a great Renaissance pope. During his pontificate he valued and supported Raphael Sanzio, whose magnificent portrait of the Pope is preserved in the Uffizi Galleries in Florence. The profile portrait by Marco Ventura is very effective, inspired by the numismatic iconography of the Pope. The obverse side features the coats of arms of Leo X and Pope Francis.
