| Reverse description | Full-color photographic portrait of Saint John Paul II in papal vestments, depicted holding a ferula (pastoral staff) and wearing a white mitre, set within the arch-shaped flan. The image is framed by an ornate gold-plated Gothic arch border with intricate floral and tracery motifs, evoking the architectural style of a cathedral window. Small saintly figures appear within the decorative side columns of the arch. The inscription 'SAINT JOHN PAUL II' is rendered in raised lettering along the lower edge of the coin beneath the color portrait. |
