| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope John Paul II facing right, depicted in papal vestments including a decorated stole and skullcap, engraved in a clean, neoclassical style by Guido Veroi. The circular Latin legend arcs around the upper and right periphery of the field, reading the pontiff's name, title, and regnal year. The engraver's signature appears in small letters near the lower left of the bust. The portrait conveys a naturalistic, dignified likeness of the Pope in profile. |
