| Reverse description | Three-quarter portrait of Pope John Paul II facing slightly left, depicted in his papal vestments including an ornate cope with embroidered orphrey; he holds a ferula (papal staff) surmounted by a crucifer cross in his right hand, raised before him in a devotional pose. To the left of his figure, the papal coat of arms of John Paul II is shown in high relief: a shield bearing a large cross and the letter M for the Virgin Mary, ensigned with the papal tiara and flanked by the crossed keys of Saint Peter. The curved Latin legend EX CATHEDRA PETRI arcs across the upper field, referencing papal authority. |
