| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Pope John Paul II wearing papal vestments and zucchetto, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail. The engraver's signature 'E. MANFRINI' appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The circular Latin legend runs along the upper and right periphery, giving the pontifical name, title, regnal year in Roman numerals, and the date in Roman numerals. The overall composition is austere and dignified, characteristic of Manfrini's medallic style for Vatican coinage. |
