| Additional information |
Issued during the Holy Year of 1983, this coin belongs to the annual Vatican proof series that the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State has produced since 1929 as a primary revenue source — collector demand, not circulation, has always been the point. The Genesis theme aligned with John Paul II's sustained theological emphasis on human dignity rooted in creation, a thread running through his 1981 apostolic exhortation and his broader catechesis on the theology of the body delivered between 1979 and 1984.
KM#176 is one of several denominations struck that year under the same thematic program, with mintage tightly controlled by Vatican standards.
