| Reverse description | The reverse displays the standard 2 euro common design by Luc Luycx, featuring a large numeral '2' in the left portion of the nickel-brass clad centre, alongside a map of the European continent rendered without national borders. The inscription 'EURO' is integrated into the map design to the right of centre. Twelve stars of the European Union are arranged in an arc along the upper right segment of the outer copper-nickel ring, with the designer's initials 'LL' visible near the map. The overall design follows the standard reverse specification adopted by all eurozone member states for the 2 euro denomination. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Vatican in 2004 to mark the 26th anniversary of John Paul II's pontificate, this coin appeared during the final months of his papacy — he died in April 2005 after a prolonged decline from Parkinson's disease. The Vatican's annual commemorative euro program generates extremely limited mintages distributed almost entirely through collector circuits, meaning genuine circulation examples are essentially nonexistent.
