2 Euro (Pope John Paul II) – Vatican City

This coin features Pope John Paul II, his birthplace, and the nearby Basilica in Wadowice, Poland. Inscriptions include ‘PAPA GIOVANNI PAOLO II’ at the top left, the years ‘1920 2020’ and mintmark ‘R’ on the right, and ‘CITTA’ DEL VATICANO’ at the bottom. Below the Basilica are the artist’s name ‘G. TITOTTO’ and engraver’s initials ‘M.A.C. INC’. The outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
