| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1999 Vatican silver series fell during the final preparations for the Great Jubilee of 2000, an event John Paul II had spent the better part of a decade planning and that shaped nearly every curial and numismatic decision of the late pontificate. The Pentecost subject here places this issue within a deliberate liturgical sequence the Vatican mint ran across multiple denominations that year, each tied to a specific mystery of the faith as a countdown to the Jubilee year.
KM#303 is occasionally found with uneven toning along the rim — a known characteristic of the .835 alloy blanks sourced during this period, not a post-mint issue.
