(Translation: Republic of Ivory Coast)
Beschrijving keerzijde Full-colour photographic scene dominates the central field, depicting Pope John Paul II in white papal vestments alongside a saffron-robed Buddhist monk, set before the ornate gilded architecture of a Thai temple. A golden Yaksha guardian statue is visible in the foreground, evoking the cultural setting of the Pope's 1984 visit to Thailand. In the upper right field, a non-coloured papal coat of arms is struck in relief, bearing the dates 1920-2005. The legend RÉCONCILIATION DES RELIGIONS arcs along the upper border, with LE PAPE EN THAÏLANDE and 1984 inscribed across the lower central field, and PAPE JEAN PAUL II along the lower border flanked by the year 2011.

Aanvullende informatie

This piece was issued to commemorate John Paul II's January 1985 apostolic visit to Thailand — one stop on a six-nation Asian tour that also included Togo, Ivory Coast itself, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic earlier in his pontificate. The Ivory Coast connection to papal commemoratives is largely commercial; the country's franc CFA issues from this period were produced almost entirely for the collector market by external minting houses, not for domestic circulation.

Silver-plated copper-nickel on a 25g flan was the house standard for this entire program, and surviving examples typically retain full plate.
