| Aanvullende informatie |
Pope Francis visited Sri Lanka in January 2015, his first stop on a two-nation Asian tour that also included the Philippines. The visit carried particular weight given Sri Lanka's recent emergence from a brutal 26-year civil war; Francis met with both Buddhist leaders and survivors of the conflict, and the canonization of Joseph Vaz — the first Sri Lankan saint — was the formal religious centerpiece of the trip.
The .925 silver specification places this squarely in the Crown-sized commemorative format common to Commonwealth-affiliated central banks issuing through the Pobjoy or Coin Invest Trust pipeline of the period.
