Euro coin set 2025 BU with 5 euro bimetallic coin

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the death of Saint John Paul II, the 5 euro bimetallic coin inserted in the 2025 Euro coin set pays tribute to a Pope who is remembered as a tireless pilgrim, bringing the light of the Gospel to the world. The figure is depicted advancing with a steady stride and open arms, a gesture that is interpreted as expressing welcome and blessing. Behind him, a stylized crowd follows; these are the young people who loved him and the marginalized who found hope in him. This coin does not close an era, but opens it wide: just like the arms of that Pope who, even today, tells us without speaking: “Do not be afraid. Open – indeed, throw wide – the doors to Christ.” Artists: Daniela Longo (Euro coin set) - Orietta Rossi (5 Euro) Sculptors: U. Pernazza (1 Eurocent) - M.A. Cassol (2 Eurocent) - L.
