5 Pula Pope's Visit

Beschrijving voorzijde	The complete national arms of Botswana occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into three sections: three interlocking cogwheels in chief, wavy horizontal lines in fess representing water, and a bull's head in base. Two zebras serving as supporters flank the shield on either side, each rearing on its hind legs. A scroll below bears the national motto PULA. The legend BOTSWANA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1988 and the national motto IPELEGENG inscribed in the lower field beneath the shield.

A small engraver's initial is visible at the lower truncation of the bust. The circumferential legend reads JOHN PAUL II - 5 PULA - SEPT. 1988, distributed around the full periphery of the coin, commemorating the papal visit to Botswana in September 1988.
