There are five series of Vatican City coins in circulation. All are valid.
The first series, showing Pope John Paul II, was issued between 2002 and 2005.
The second series, issued between June 2005 and March 2006, shows the coat of arms of the Cardinal Chamberlain, the acting head of state of the Vatican City, superimposed on the emblem of the Apostolic Chamber in the centre of the coin. The upper part of this design is surrounded by the semicircular words 'SEDE VACANTE' and the year of issue in Roman numerals, i.e. 'MMV'. The designer's name, 'D. LONGO', appears on the lower left-hand edge of the central design, while the respective engraver's initials appear on the lower right-hand edge, namely 'MAC inc' (on the 1 and 20 cent coins), 'LDS inc' (on the 2 and 50 cent coins), 'ELF inc' (on the 5 cent and €1 coins) and 'MCC inc' (on the 10 cent and €2 coins).
The third series, issued between April 2006 and December 2013, shows Pope Benedict XVI. To the left are the designer's initials ('DL').
The fourth series, first issued in January 2014, shows Pope Francis.
The fifth series, first issued in March 2017, shows the coat of arms of the Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Pope Francis.
The coins in each series feature the 12 stars of the European flag, the words 'CITTÀ DEL VATICANO', the year of issuance and the mintmark 'R'.

Background
The 'Union Shield' theme is the current design of the U.S. one-cent coin. The U.S. Mint first issued this design in 2010. The obverse (heads) shows the image of President Abraham Lincoln used on the penny since 1909. The shield on the reverse (tails) represents Lincoln's preservation of the United States as a single country.
The penny was one of the first coins made by the U.S. Mint after its establishment in 1792. The design on the first penny was of a woman with flowing hair symbolizing liberty. The coin was larger and made of pure copper, while today's smaller coin is made of copper and zinc.
Liberty stayed on the penny for more than 60 years. In 1857, the coin got smaller and the metal composition changed to 88% copper and 12% nickel. With these changes came new designs. In 1857 and 1858 the new coins featured a flying eagle on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The 'Indian Head' design appeared from 1859 to 1909.
In 1909, Abraham Lincoln became the first president featured on our coins in honor of his 100th birthday. The Lincoln penny obverse showed the image of Lincoln designed by Victor David Brenner that is still used today. From 1909 to 1958 the reverse featured two sheaves of wheat. From 1959 to 2008, the reverse was an image of the Lincoln Memorial designed by Frank Gasparro to commemorate Lincoln's 150th birthday.

In 2009, the Mint issued four different pennies throughout the year as part of the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Program. The program recognized Lincoln's 200th birthday and the 100th anniversary of the first Lincoln cent. The themes on the reverses represented the four major aspects of Lincoln's life.
