| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color photographic portrait of Pope John Paul II in three-quarter view, vested in ornate pontifical robes with a richly embroidered cope in red and gold, his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing. Behind the figure, an engraved outline map of the African continent fills the right portion of the field, referencing the Pope's pastoral visits to the continent. The curved legend 'JOHN PAUL II - PAPAL VISITS' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters against the darkened field. The design is executed in applied color print technique over a silver-plated surface. |
