2025 Malta €25 1-oz Gold Pope Francis Proof

Gold Proof Honors The Motto Pope Francis Lived By

On Monday morning, April 21, 2025, the world was stunned to learn that Pope Francis had passed away. People were caught off guard, as his health had seemed relatively stable following his surprise appearance the day before during Easter celebrations. His death left many in disbelief and sorrow over the loss of a beloved and transformative figure in the Catholic Church. To pay tribute to this great man, Malta has released this commemorative coin that celebrates the life and reign of Pope Francis.

A Poignant Portrait Of Pope Francis

This legal-tender €25 coin was struck in a Troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold and shows a right-facing portrait of The Pontiff framed by an inscription of his papal motto in Latin that reads: "MISERANDO ATQUE ELIGENDO," which means "by having mercy, by choosing him." Below him is his name, "FRANCISCVS P.M." along with the start and end dates of his reign, 2013 & 2015, in Roman numerals, MMXIII & MMXXV. The images are further augmented by the coin's gorgeous Proof condition, the result of being expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes that produced beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields!

An Approachable And Humble Pontiff

The head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 2013 until his death in 2025, Pope Francis's legacy is marked by a focus on social justice, addressing climate change, and advocating for the marginalized. He is remembered for his approachable and humble leadership style, his emphasis on compassion and mercy, and his efforts to bridge divides within and outside the Catholic Church. His papacy saw significant reforms within the Church, including increased transparency and a push for greater listening to the laity
