The 2005 Vatican City 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 20th International Youth Day held in Cologne. The national side features a detailed depiction of the Cologne Cathedral, with the spires of the iconic Gothic structure rising prominently toward the upper edge. Below the cathedral, the text 'XX GIOVENTÙ MONDIALE' is inscribed, referencing the global gathering of young people. This design serves as a tribute to the significant religious event hosted in Germany, highlighting the Vatican's commitment to international youth engagement and the spiritual unity of the Catholic Church. The coin was issued in 2005 with a mintage of 100,000 pieces.
