The first is an official Vatican coin - the Vatican has a mint and makes Euro coins - from each year of the popes tenure. Since he was in office 12 years, there will be 12 coins.
The other is a tradition. The Pope traditionally receives as his salary one gold coin, one silver coin and one copper coin per year. The real amount is $32,000 per month - all of which Francis donated to charity, because thats the kind of man he was. (He also lived in what was essentially an Army barracks room and allowed tourists to visit the actual papal residence.) These coins are placed in separate bags and buried with the Pope.
