Comments

The coin draws on a classical image of Saint Anthony appearing as a young religious with Child Jesus in his arms and a lily in his hand. The habit recalls his belonging to the Franciscan order, while the Child Jesus brings to mind the vision that occurred at Camposampiero expressing his devotion to the humanity of Christ and at the same time his intimacy with God. The lily represents his purity and struggle against the devil from his infancy.
