Description: Depicted in the centre of the coin
is the Cathedral of Cologne with a comet passing by above. The words ‘XX
GIORNATA MONDIALE DELLA GIOVENTÙ’ are inscribed along the upper edge of
the central part, separated by the tail of the comet and two of the
cathedral’s spires, one of which extends into the coin’s outer ring.
Twelve stars are depicted in a semicircle along the upper part of the
outer ring, separated at the top by the year of issue (2005) and the
mintmark ‘R’. Below the central image of the cathedral, the words ‘CITTÀ
DEL VATICANO’ form a semicircle in the outer ring.
