| 裏面の説明 | A left-facing portrait bust of Pope John Paul II dominates the central field, depicted wearing a cassock and zucchetto, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and vestments. A small engraver's initial G is visible near the lower truncation of the bust. The encircling legend reads JOHN PAUL II to the left and 5 PULA to the upper right, with SEPT. 1988 continuing along the right and lower right periphery. |

Pope John Paul II visited Botswana in September 1988 as part of a sweeping six-nation southern African tour — one of his many pastoral visits to the continent, which he prioritized heavily throughout his pontificate. Botswana's Catholic population was modest, but the visit carried diplomatic weight in a region where the Church was deeply embedded in education and healthcare infrastructure.
Copper-nickel commemoratives of this type rarely achieve significant secondary market premiums unless tied to a short mintage run, which the Bank of Botswana did not widely publicize for this issue.
