THE VATICAN INSPIRATION

The Vatican City, a small sovereign city-state surrounded by Rome, Italy, has a rich and storied history. At the heart of this history is the rise of the Catholic Church and the creation of its own currency, the Vatican Lira.

The story begins in the early centuries of Christianity, when the Catholic Church was still a small and persecuted sect. Despite the hardships, the Church continued to grow and gain power, eventually becoming the dominant religion of the Roman Empire.

As the Church's power grew, so did its influence over the politics of Rome. In the 4th century, Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and made it the official religion of the empire. This solidified the Church's position as a major player in the politics and culture of Rome.

However, the Church's power was not without its challenges. The Popes of the Middle Ages were often at odds with the secular rulers of Europe, leading to a series of conflicts and power struggles.

But through it all, the Church continued to grow and thrive. And as the Catholic Church became more powerful, the Popes began to assert their authority over the city of Rome. In the 16th century, Pope Julius II created the Vatican City as an independent city-state, with the Pope as its ruler.

This independence allowed the Vatican to establish its own government, laws, and even its own currency, the Vatican Lira. The currency was first minted in 1929, and it was used as the official currency of Vatican City until the introduction of the Euro in 2002.

The Vatican Lira was unique in that it featured the Pope's image on one side and religious imagery on the other. The currency was highly sought after by collectors and remains a symbol of the Church's power and independence to this day.

The Vatican City and the Catholic Church have had a tumultuous history, but through it all they have remained a powerful and influential force in the world. The creation of the Vatican Lira is just one example of the Church's determination to assert its independence and authority.

As the story comes to an end, the Vatican City still stands as a symbol of the Catholic Church's enduring power and influence, a microstate with a rich history, culture, and its own currency, the Vatican Lira, which will always be remembered as a symbol of the Church's independence and authority.

The creation of the Vatican LIRA and the Rise of the Vatican City into a Sovereign nation-state is reminiscent of the unfair control of the few in the Traditional Web 2 Space, the unsupervised autonomy of the 1% that controls 99% of the Wealth of the world through its banks and other financial institutions and the sovereignty the masses sought that inspired Satoshi Nakamoto.

It in every way gives credence to why the BLOCKCHAIN, DECENTRALIZATION and WEB 3 came into being in the first place. That is the inspiration for the VATICAN COIN.

A self-governed sovereign Community that together gives value to their own Token and make all decisions to govern themselves.
