Comment

Pope John XXIII (1958-1963) was canonized on 27th April 2014, together with Pope John Paul II (1978-2005).
The decision to canonize was made official by Pope Francis on 5 July 2013 following the recognition of a miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul II, while John XXIII was canonized for his merits of opening the Second Vatican Council. The date of the canonization was assigned on 30 September 2013.
The official boxes in which the coins were presented were made of bubinga wood grown under sustainable conditions.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the canonization of Pope John XXIII, who was known for his progressive reforms within the Catholic Church and his role in the Second Vatican Council. The coin's design features an image of Pope John XXIII on the obverse and the coat of arms of Burkina Faso on the reverse. The coin's high silver content and large weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for those interested in numismatics.
