Description
Commemorate the enduring legacy of a transformative spiritual leader with the In Memoriam Pope Francis silver coin — a touching tribute to the life and impact of the 266th Pope, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Struck in 0.5 grams of .9999 fine gold in proof quality, this beautifully crafted coin honours the Pope who reshaped the Catholic Church with compassion, humility, and a global vision for justice.
Elected in 2013 at the age of 76, Pope Francis was the first pontiff from outside Europe in over 1,200 years. Inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, he chose his papal name to reflect a mission rooted in simplicity, service, and care for the marginalized. As the spiritual guide to 1.3 billion Catholics, his voice resonated far beyond religious boundaries — championing the poor, advocating for refugees, and calling for urgent climate action.
Issued by the Cook Islands with a limited mintage of just 15,000 pieces worldwide, this legal tender $5 coin measures 11 mm and is a fitting collector’s piece for those who admire Pope Francis’ humanitarian spirit and his dedication to bridging faith with global responsibility.
