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.

Reverse description A pastoral scene depicting a farmer guiding a wooden plow drawn by two oxen across a plowed field, evoking the theme of human labor and dignity. In the background to the right, a woman and child stand before a rural dwelling, symbolizing family and home. The composition illustrates the annual Vatican numismatic theme of work, drawn from Catholic social teaching. The denomination and mint mark appear in the field, with the issuer's name arcing along the upper legend.
