Italy's IPZS also presented the struck specimen of its second 2-euro commemorative coin for 2025 at its stand at the World Money Fair in Berlin today. The theme is "World Voyage of the Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci 2023–2025." The obverse features the training ship Amerigo Vespucci at center, cutting through the waves under full sail. Along the upper left, the commemorative inscription "AMERIGO VESPUCCI TOUR MONDIALE 2023-2025" runs horizontally, with the year "2025" and the country abbreviation "RI" below. On the right edge, the "R" mint mark of the Rome mint is visible. Along the lower edge, the initials "E. FERRETTI" of coin designer Emanuele Ferretti are shown. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European flag. The coin, designed by Emanuele Ferretti, will be issued on 9 May with a mintage of 3 million pieces, including 10,000 in a BU coincard, 10,000 in a proof presentation case, and 2,500 in a proof mint set.
