Feature: Varaždin (Stari grad Varaždin – the Old Town of Varaždin)
Description: The design features the keep of the Varaždin Castle (12th – 16th century). Varaždin is first mentioned in 1181. Having suffered massive casualties in the Tatar invasion of 1242, it was built as a royal fortress, which would become known as the Old Town. Its appearance has changed through the centuries: from a strong medieval fortress surrounded by water-filled moats to the main fortress and armoury of Slavonian Military Border and Varaždin military headquarters and a beautiful Renaissance castle. At present, the Old Town is the most important and magnificent historical building of the City of Varaždin, a highest-category monument of the Croatian architectural heritage. The coin also features the name of the issuing country ‘HRVATSKA’ (Croatia), the year of issuance ‘2024’, and the words ‘STARI GRAD VARAŽDIN’ (the Old Town of Varaždin), which are all inscribed circularly at the top and the bottom of the design. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.

This year marks the 750th anniversary of the death of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Roccasecca 1225 ca - Fossanova 1274). The Vatican Mint dedicates the 2 euro bimetallic coin to the anniversary in the double version Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof and the 25 euro colour silver rectangular coin. On the reverse side of the 2 euro coin, artist Arianna Ciccone shows Saint Thomas Aquinas in the foreground wearing the habit of the Dominican Order to which he belonged. His left hand holds a tome of his most important work the “Summa Theologica” and the other hand a feather quill. On the Saint’s chest a shining sun stands out, a symbol of his great wisdom. Among the various titles he received, the one he is most widely known for is that of ‘Angelic Doctor,’ which we see quoted below and which celebrates his exceptional purity of soul and body. In the background on the left side are a lily, a symbol of chastity, and the Church of Saint Thomas in Roccasecca, the first religious building in the world made to honour Saint Thomas Aquinas, proclaimed a Saint on 18 July 1323 by Pope John XXII.
