| Additional information |
Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003, making this 2004 issue a direct response to that ceremony. Somalia's government had no meaningful connection to either figure — the country was effectively stateless at the time, with the Transitional National Government controlling little beyond a nominal mandate. These commemoratives were licensed through foreign intermediaries and sold entirely to the collector market.
