| Obverse description | Three-quarter bust of Pope John Paul II facing left, wearing papal vestments including a mozzetta and skullcap, with fine drapery detail visible across the chest. The pontifical effigy is rendered in high relief with naturalistic modeling. The circular legend around the upper periphery reads IOANNES PAVLVS II P.M. AN.XI MCMXC, identifying the pope, his title, and the regnal year. Two small olive or laurel sprigs flank the lower field, and the engraver's signature A. CANEVARI appears along the lower rim. |
