The 8th World Meeting of Families was held in Philadelphia in September 2015 — the first time the event had taken place in the United States — and Francis attended in person, making it one of the most logistically complex papal visits in recent American history. The Vatican issued this coin specifically to commemorate that gathering, one of several 2015 commemoratives tied to Francis's unusually active travel schedule that year, which also included his address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress and a visit to the UN General Assembly.
