| Obverse description | The central field depicts a composition commemorating the centenary of the birth of Pope John Paul II, featuring his portrait alongside the house of his birth and the Basilica of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in Wadowice, Poland. The upper legend reads 'PAPA GIOVANNI PAOLO II' in a semi-circular arc, while the commemorative dates '1920 2020' and the Rome Mint mark 'R' appear to the right. The lower arc bears the issuing authority legend 'CITTÀ DEL VATICANO', with the designer's name 'G. TITOTTO' and engraver's initials 'M.A.C. INC' inscribed beneath the basilica. The outer ring of the bimetallic coin carries the twelve stars of the European Union flag. |
