| Reverse description | The reverse bears a forward-facing bust of Pope John Paul II depicted in papal vestments with both arms raised in a gesture of blessing toward the viewer. The figure is rendered in moderate relief against a polished field, with fine detail in the facial features and drapery. The curved legend VISITA DE S.S. O PAPA JOÃO PAULO II arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription JANEIRO 1990 appears in the lower exergual area, separated by two small five-pointed stars at either side. The overall composition commemorates the papal visit to Cape Verde in January 1990. |
