| Aanvullende informatie |
Guinea has issued a long series of small-format gold devotional pieces under various pontifical subjects, largely targeting the Catholic collector market rather than any domestic monetary need. This Benedict XVI piece appeared two years after his death was widely — and incorrectly — anticipated; he in fact survived until December 2022, making post-retirement papal portraiture an oddly active commercial category throughout the 2010s.
