The listing, "VATICAN CITY COINS ANNO IX1987" 5 COINS BLESSED by POPE JOHN PAUL II,ORIGINAL VATICAN CITY CURRENCY has ended.
These were also a gift from my travelling friends, RIP. They went to Rome in 1987 and have many shots of them clost to the pope and brought back these coins of the Vatican City as a Gift. They are blessed by Pope John Paul II who I very much admired for his truly loving and religious heart and soul, If you want to see better photos, just google these on E-Bay, and the photos are much better of exactly the same thing, my phone just won't get in close!! On E-Bay they vary up to about 50-60 bucks, but i know listia is different. Pope John Paul II affected so many people, he is like the Rock Star of Popes, I am honored to pass these blessings along, hopefully to a family with five kids and one blessed coin can go to each child!!!

I ASSUME ANNO IX "PONTIFICATE OF JOHN PAUL II COINS FOR THE NINTH YEAR-1987, I GUESS THAT IT THE 9TH YEAR THAT John PaulII was Pope. These are a beautiful piece for coin collectors who love the heart of Pope John Paul II, a truly tolerant and fair man, too bad people can't live to 200, because he would have had the church in good shape if he could have lived that long to face certain horrible truths that have come out about the church...HONESTLY!!.
PLEASE LOOK ON E-BAY FOR BETTER PHOTOS, THESE ARE JUST NOT SHOWING THE BEAUTY OF THE SCULPTEUr Angelo Canevari.
