The coin with a denomination of 100 zloty, issued in 2005, commemorates the life of one of the greatest and most outstanding Poles in the history of our country and the entire world – Pope John Paul II. It is a collector's coin in a proof mirror version. Its mintage is 18,700 pieces. Mirror coins differ from traditional bullion coins with a perfectly shiny, mirror-like surface on the obverse and reverse. Additionally, each coin is packaged in a special case and capsule, emphasizing their highest mint quality.
The obverse of the coin features a stylized fragment of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. To the left of the dome is the image of an eagle, in accordance with the Polish emblem, and to the right is the denomination. The edge of the coin bears the inscription RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA and the year of issue. Under the eagle's left paw is the mint mark. The reverse of the coin depicts a profile portrait of John Paul II, facing a visible fragment of the baptismal font from the Minor Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wadowice. Above the portrait is the inscription JAN PAWEŁ II, while at the bottom of the coin are the dates 1920-2005, commemorating the pope's life. The design is by Urszula Walerzak.
Karol Józef Wojtyła was born on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice. On October 16, 1978, he became pope, taking the name John Paul II. He died on April 2, 2005. He was one of the most influential leaders of the Catholic Church, known for his work for peace, human rights, and interfaith dialogue. His pontificate, lasting nearly 27 years, had a significant impact on global Catholicism and international politics. John Paul II was also known for his contribution to the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe.
The coin issued to commemorate the life and pontificate of John Paul II is valued by collectors for its historical and cultural significance. The high quality of craftsmanship and mirror stamp make it a unique collectible item. Coins featuring John Paul II are not only a memento but also an investment whose value increases over the years.
