| Beschrijving keerzijde | A coloured scene commemorating Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Damascus in 2001 fills the reverse field. At left, a colour effigy of Pope John Paul II is shown bending forward to kiss the Quran, rendered in polychrome enamel to highlight his white papal vestments. To the right, his pontifical coat of arms is depicted. The iconic Umayyad Mosque of Damascus, Syria, with its distinctive minarets and courtyard, forms the detailed architectural background across the full width of the reverse. Surrounding legends record the commemorative inscriptions in French. |

Part of Niger's long-running "Famous Cities" series issued through the Monnaie de Paris, this piece commemorates Damascus — commonly cited as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, with settlement evidence reaching back beyond 10,000 BCE. The series has drawn mild criticism from collectors for prioritizing breadth over depth, with dozens of city subjects issued across multiple African states under broadly similar commercial arrangements.
