| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Christie Paquet, depicts Pope John Paul II in full vestments celebrating Mass, rendered in fine detail after a photographic reference from his first pastoral visit to Canada in 1984. The Pope is shown in a reverent, forward-facing pose at the altar, conveying solemnity appropriate to the subject's canonisation in 2014. The inscriptions JOHN PAUL II and CANONISATION 2014 appear within the field, along with the country name CANADA, commemorating the historic canonisation of the pontiff. |
