Interesting fact
The 50,000 Lire coin featuring John Paul II (St. Paul) issued by Vatican City in 1997 is made of gold (.917) and weighs 7.5 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the papacy of John Paul II, who was the longest-serving Pope in history, serving for over 26 years until his death in 2005. The coin's design features an image of John Paul II on the obverse and the Vatican City's coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's high gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and fans of the Pope.
