500 Dollars - Elizabeth II Canonization of John Paul II

John Paul II was canonized on April 27, 2014, alongside John XXIII — the first time two popes had been canonized simultaneously. The ceremony drew an estimated 800,000 people to St. Peter's Square, one of the largest gatherings in Vatican history. Niue has long leaned on its Cook Islands-adjacent licensing arrangements to produce oversized commemorative pieces for the collector market, and this 4-kilogram, 150mm format sits at the extreme end of what the series attempted.
