| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Pope John Paul II occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detailing. The legend CITTA DEL VATICANO encircles the portrait along the upper periphery, identifying the issuing state. Twelve stars of the European Union are arranged around the inner border, a common motif on euro coinage. The mint year and mint mark R, along with the engravers' initials GV, UP INC., appear in the lower field. The overall design reflects a refined neoclassical portrait style characteristic of Vatican commemorative and circulating issues of this period. |
