Comment
This coin belongs to the 2007 Series dedicated to the Popes of the 20th Century.John XXIII: He took charge of the Church when he was 77 years old, so his pontificate lasted only four, from 1959 to 1963. However, he won the sympathy and respect of his faithful. In his encyclical 'Pacem in terris' he explained the recognition of the rights and duties of man as the basis of peace. Known as 'the good Pope', he convened the Second Vatican Council, convened a Synod, the first, and began the revision of Canon Law. John Paul II beatified him in 2000.
