Interesting fact
The 10,000 Lire coin featuring Pope John Paul II, also known as "The Last Supper" coin, has a unique feature. It has a holographic effect that changes the image of the Pope's face when viewed from different angles.

This feature adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin, making it stand out among other commemorative coins.
