Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Holy Year of Mercy, which was declared by Pope Francis in 2015. The coin's design features an image of Pope Francis on the obverse, and on the reverse, it depicts the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica, which is opened during the Holy Year to symbolize the granting of indulgences and the forgiveness of sins. The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and religious coin collectors.
