Description

The Mint of Poland presents a triptych coin designed to commemorate the canonization of one of the most cheriched Popes in the history of the Church.

The high value of this impressive rectangle-shaped coin is emphasized by its unique design with side walls folded back for efficient exposure.

  • The perfect gift for every follower of John Paul II

  • Embellished with multi-coloured images printed on glass
  • The unique form of a triptych with its side walls folded back
