2. Bi-metallic 2 Euro 2013 from The Netherlands……by Pabitra Saha, UK

3. Bi-metallic 2 Euro 2013 from Vaticane City……by Pabitra Saha, UK
The news website euronews is reporting that the Pope will resign on the 28th February 2013 because he no longer has the strength to fulfill the duties of his office. This will be the first time since the early 15th century that a Pope has retired. Conclave to elect the new pope will be held in March.
Once a new pope is elected, the Vatican will issue a new standard coin set (4th Series) featuring the new pope. Pope Benedict was elected in April 2005 but the new standard set was issued 1 year after - April 2006, thus, it is very likely that the new 4th series will be issued next year. However, since this time the Vatican will not issue a Sede Vacante standard coin set, it might issue the new standard coins this year.
During last Sede Vacante, the Vatican has issued a new series of standard coins, however, this won't happen this time as the EU has changed the rules - now the Vatican is allowed to issue another Bi-metallic 2 Euro commemorative coin to commemorate the Sede Vacante - thus this year we can expect twoBi-metallic 2 Euro commemorative coins from the Vatican
