Comment
Theme of the serie is the Works of Corporal Mercy from the Encyclical "Dives Misericordiae", written by John Paul II about Divine Mercy.Interesting fact
The 10 Lire coin featuring Pope John Paul II, issued in 1981 by Vatican City, has an interesting feature. The coin's design, which depicts the Pope holding a glass of water, was intended to symbolize his message of providing drinking water to those in need. This message was particularly significant because it was released during a time when many people in Africa were suffering from drought and water scarcity. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the importance of helping those in need and the role that leaders can play in promoting social justice.
