| Reverse description | An elaborate high-relief composition depicting Pope John Paul II in bust form at the centre within a circular medallion, surrounded by eight roundels each containing a relief portrait of a canonised saint, arranged radially around the central effigy. The surrounding field is decorated with stylised rays and small doves in flight between each roundel, evoking a heavenly or celestial atmosphere. The Polish legend ŚWIĘTY WŚRÓD ŚWIĘTYCH (meaning 'A Saint Among Saints') encircles the central portrait within its medallion border. The overall design is deeply sculpted in antique finish, lending a strongly devotional and monumental character befitting the subject of canonisation. |
