| Reverse description | A three-quarter length silver relief effigy of Pope John Paul II is depicted at the right of the field, vested in papal robes and zucchetto, his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand resting upon a pastoral staff. To the left, a large colour-applied image of radiant flames fills the central field, evoking themes of spiritual fire and divine light associated with his anticipated beatification. The circular legend BEATIFICATION - JOHN PAUL II. - 2009 arcs across the upper border, while the inscription 1 OZ .999 SILVER appears along the lower border. The contrast between the polished silver relief of the papal figure and the vivid coloured flames creates a striking devotional composition. |
