The 2012 Vatican City 2 euro commemorative coin marks the Seventh World Meeting of Families, an international gathering held in Milan that year. The design features a portrait of a family group consisting of a father, mother, and three children, symbolising the core values of the Catholic Church regarding the family unit. In the background, the silhouette of Milan Cathedral is depicted, grounding the event in its specific host city. The surrounding text includes the name of the event and the issuing state, reflecting the Vatican's ongoing commitment to promoting family life through these global assemblies. This issue was released in a standard circulation format. The coin was issued in 2012 with a mintage of 115,000 pieces.
