Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that represents the theme of harvest, which is fitting given that the coin was issued in 1984, a year that marked the 20th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's papacy. The design includes an image of the pope blessing a sheaf of wheat, symbolizing his commitment to promoting peace and abundance. The coin's aluminum composition also adds to its distinctiveness, as it was a departure from the more commonly used copper or silver coins.
