The Official Blister 2010 contains a full set of circulating euros (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents and 1, 2 euros), along will a 5 euro silver coin commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death of famed Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Active in Rome, Naples, Malta and Sicily between 1593 and 1610, Caravaggia (1571-1610) is known for his intensely emotional realism and dramatic use of lighting had a formative influence on the Baroque school of painting.
The coins are sealed within a blister pack for protection, and come in a full-colour folder showing pieces of the artist's work.
