| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Pope John Paul II wearing a zucchetto and clerical vestments, engraved in a restrained, medallic style by Luciana De Simoni. The circular Latin legend runs along the upper and right periphery, giving the pontiff's name, title, regnal year, and date in Roman numerals. The portrait occupies the majority of the field, with the truncation of the bust falling near the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | Two standing male figures depicted in an allegorical scene of divine justice: one figure, at left, holds a raised sword and has slain a serpent at his feet, symbolising the triumph over evil; the other figure, at right, extends a dove heavenward. Both figures gaze toward a radiate triangle in the upper field, representing the Holy Trinity. The denomination and mint mark appear in the lower field, with the issuer's name and a grave-accented legend distributed around the periphery. |
