The 2011 Vatican City 2 euro commemorative coin marks the World Youth Day held in Madrid. The national side of the coin features a portrait of Pope Benedict XVI facing left, surrounded by the inscription 'XXVI GIOVANTÙ MONDIALE DELLA GIOVENTÙ' and the issuing state 'CITTÀ DEL VATICANO'. This design reflects the Vatican's significant role in the international Catholic gathering, which brings together young people from across the globe to celebrate their faith and engage in dialogue. By commemorating this specific event in Spain, the coin highlights the Holy See's commitment to global youth engagement and the spiritual mission of the Papacy. The coin was issued in 2011 with a mintage of 115,000 pieces.
