Immaculate Gold Coin Celebrates Centennial of John Paull II’s Birth

The most traveled pope in history and the first non-Italian to lead the church in more than four and a-half centuries, John Paul II was hailed by many as “The People’s Pope” for his ability to connect with people from all around the globe. The grief felt by the world upon his passing on April 2, 2005 was balanced by the outpouring of joy in the celebration of his life and legacy. Even now, more than 15 years later, the late Pontiff’s influence is felt by Christians and non-Christians the world over.

In 2020 to celebrate the 100th anniversary John Paul II’s birth, Barbados has released an immaculate gold coin that captures the very essence of the great man with a reverent image of him dressed in full Papal regalia gently holding his walking staff topped by a crucifix. Just to the left is an inscription that reads, “Totus tuus” – Latin for “Totally yours,” his personal motto.

This legal-tender $10 coin was struck in a half gram of 99.99% pure gold and measures 11 mm in diameter – the perfect size for mounting in a bezel and wearing as a necklace. It also comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning that it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.

Just 5,000 of these 2020 Barbados Half-Gram Gold Pope John Paul II 100th Birth Anniversary Proofs will be struck for worldwide release. When you consider the respect and adoration that millions of people around the world have for John Paul II, this limited edition seems far too small to meet the demand.
