| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has issued commemorative silver pieces under foreign licensing arrangements since the late 1990s, with the actual minting typically contracted to European facilities rather than the DRC's own limited infrastructure. This 2004 issue marks John Paul II's 1984 visit to Switzerland — one of 104 foreign trips he made during his pontificate, a travel record no previous pope had approached.
By 2004, John Paul II was in severe physical decline from Parkinson's disease, making retrospective issues like this one carry an implicit valedictory tone the market recognized almost immediately.
