| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-colour photographic depiction of Pope John Paul II shaking hands with the Chief Rabbi inside the Great Synagogue of Rome, commemorating the historic 1986 visit — the first time a reigning Pope entered a synagogue. The ornate interior of the synagogue is visible in the background. The papal coat of arms, rendered in colour at the lower left, displays the characteristic gold cross on blue field with the letter 'M'. The legend 'RECONCILIATION OF RELIGIONS' arcs along the upper border, with the year '2011' below it, and 'POPE JOHN PAUL II' inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by his birth and death years '1920-2005'. |
