Under Pope John Paul II, the Vatican created new, innovative and impressive coin designs every year. 1997 was no exception. The 1997 year of mintage commemorates the 19th Anniversary of the papacy of Pope John Paul II. One side of this beautiful coin shows Pope John Paul II in profile facing right and is inscribed: "JOANNES PAVLVS II P.M. AN. XIX MCMXCVII." "AN. XIX" refers to the 19th year of the Papacy of Pope John Paul II and the rest of the Roman numerals indicate the year of mintage, 1997. The other side of the coin shows one man with lowered sword and another man with a dove. This side is inscribed: "CITTA DEL VATICANO L.50.," which means that this is a Vatican coin in the denomination of 50 lire. Below the "50" is the mint mark "R," signifying that this coin was minted in Rome. This shiny copper-nickel coin measures 19.2 mm in diameter, about the size of a USA Cent, which is 19.05 mm in diameter. The weight of this coin is 4.46 grams, less than the weight of a USA Nickel, which is 5 grams, and more than the weight of a USA Cent, which is 2.5 grams. Honor the memory of this great Pope, known as the Apostle of Peace, by proudly owning this hard to find coin minted in 1997. "At a time marked by profound and rapid change, Catholics are called to offer their country new intellectual and moral energy to build a future inspired by the civilization of love. May honesty in every area of social life, willingness to mutually forgive one another and to seek reconciliation, acceptance of the weak and support for the poor, respect for the person and his dignity, attention to the authentic needs of the family, the primary cell of every society, be inescapable reference points on the journey towards the new Christian millennium.
