| Reverse description | A slightly left-facing portrait bust of Pope John Paul II dominates the central field, rendered in a restrained, sculptural style typical of Polish commemorative coinage. The curved legend BEATYFIKACJA JANA PAWŁA II arcs along the upper periphery, with the Roman numeral II descending along the lower right margin. The date of beatification, 1 V 2011, is inscribed in the lower field beneath the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Struck to coincide with John Paul II's beatification ceremony on May 1, 2011 — held in St. Peter's Square before an estimated 1.5 million people — this issue was produced by Mennica Polska as part of a broader Polish state commemoration that included parallel silver and Nordic gold denominations. The 1g format was a deliberate concession to accessibility, allowing gold ownership at a price point typically reserved for base-metal collector issues.
