Saint John Paul II 100th Anniversary Proof Coin Collection

A shining example of love and kindness, Saint John Paul II left behind an incredible legacy. Elected as the 26th pope in 1978, he traveled to 129 countries to promote peace among all faiths and inspire youth with renewed devotion. A staunch defender of freedom and faith, he was instrumental in inspiring the downfall of communism in his native Poland and beyond. Shortly after his death in 2005, two miracles were officially recognized, and he was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. Now, the life and miracles of the "People's Pope" inspire the Saint John Paul II 100th Anniversary Proof Coin Collection, available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange. A great addition to your collection and a thoughtful religious gift, this unique collection begins with Issue One, Saint John Paul II. Soon your collection will continue with Issue Two, Elected as the 26th Pope and FREE Display Box, followed by Issue Three, First Visit to the White House, and additional collectible silver-plated coins, each a separate issue to follow.

Intended as collectors' items, each legal tender Proof coin in this collection is fully plated in 99.9% silver and features a One Crown denomination minted under the authority of Tristan da Cunha. The reverse side of each of these collectible coins showcases a portrait of Saint John Paul II in full colour along with a special 24K gold-plated privy mark of the Vatican keys, symbol of Papal Authority. The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination and minting authority. Proof quality coining dies create these coins' polished, mirror-like fields and raised, frosted imagery.
