| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Pope John Paul II wearing a zucchetto and papal vestments, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The circular legend around the upper field reads IOANNES PAVLVS II in the left arc and P.M.A.I MCMLXXIX in the right arc, identifying the pontiff by name, title, and regnal year. The truncation of the bust is clean, with the lower field left unadorned. The portrait is the work of engraver Guido Veroi and reflects the academic realist style characteristic of Vatican coinage of the period. |
