This striking and visually powerful Nordic Gold coin commemorates John Paul II's honorable Papacy. The influential Catholic leader traveled to over 130 countries, stayed in more than 620 towns and touched countless lives. His papacy was the fourth longest in history, behind Leo XIII, Pius IX, and St. Peter. This Polish legal-tender coin was beautifully struck in Nordic Gold, an alloy that creates exceptionally bright, gleaming gold surfaces. It's a treasured masterpiece.
