The arc legend THE LIFE OF POPE JOHN PAUL II runs around the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, with the date 2005 appearing in the lower exergue, flanked by two raised dots as decorative stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 2005, the year of John Paul II's death, this Somali commemorative was produced as part of the broad wave of memorial issues that flooded the market following his passing on April 2nd. Somalia's coin program during this period was effectively a licensing operation — the country issued dozens of collector pieces annually with no meaningful domestic circulation, the program administered entirely by overseas distributors targeting the European and American commemorative market.
Silver-plated copper-nickel rather than solid silver — worth noting for buyers who encounter this piece misrepresented.
