This complete Lire circulation coin set honors the unforgotten and beloved Pope John Paul II. The Polish born Karol Wojtyła (*18th May 1920, †2nd April 2005) found his calling early on, and received ordination at the age of 26.

On 16th October 1978, he was chosen as the pope, and succeeded John Paul I. Pope John Paul II had the second longest pontificate of all 266 popes, at over 26 years, and also had an extraordinary influence on world politics.

On 1st May 2011, the deceased Pope was beatified, and in 2014 canonized.

The coin set was issued from Vatican City State during the first year of papacy of John Paul II. All coins are available in uncirculated quality, and are embedded in valuable Epaluxcases.

Epalux – the queen of packages – stands out due to high break resistance, very long life, high stability and aesthetics.
