Interesting fact
The 100 Lire coin minted in 1995 to commemorate Pope John Paul II's message of the inviolability of human life features a unique design element. The coin's reverse side depicts an image of a pregnant woman, symbolizing the protection of human life from conception to birth. This design choice was significant because it highlighted the Catholic Church's stance on the sanctity of human life and the importance of protecting the unborn. It's an interesting fact that this coin was minted with a special metal called Acmonital, which is a bronze-like alloy that is resistant to corrosion and has a long lifespan, making it an ideal choice for commemorative coins.
