| Obverse description | Within the aluminium bronze centre, the right-facing bust of Pope John Paul II is depicted in low relief, positioned to the lower right of a large Latin cross that dominates the field. The portrait shows the Pope with short hair and without liturgical vestments, rendered in a restrained, modern sculptural style. The circular legend, engraved in the stainless steel outer ring, reads IOANNES PAVLVS II P.M. A.V MCMLXXXIII, identifying the pontiff by his regnal name, his title of Pontifex Maximus, his pontifical year, and the date in Roman numerals. |
