The Antarctica 10 Dollars 2010 bimetallic coin dedicated to Pope John Paul II is a fascinating fantasy issue that unites numismatic artistry with religious symbolism. Struck with a silver-colored outer ring and golden-toned center, the obverse presents a detailed portrait of Pope John Paul II wearing papal vestments and mitre, holding a pastoral staff with crucifix. Around him are inscriptions: “Beatus 1-5-2011”, “10$ 2011”, and his facsimile signature Joannes Paulus II. The reverse displays a stylized map of Antarctica, radiating meridians, and inscriptions in three languages: “Antarctic Territories – Antarctique – Antarctica”, making the design both geographical and symbolic. John Paul II, canonized in 2014, was one of the most influential Popes of the 20th century, known for his advocacy of peace, dialogue, and human dignity. This fantasy coin, with its striking bimetallic appearance and religious theme, is a rare collectible appealing to admirers of papal memorabilia and world issues alike.
